I haven’t shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I’m eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I’d love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to view the context of what I’m typing about on the other side without everything shrinking the way it does on regular phones.

      Is that why Facebook gets installed on my S22 now? I thought that was tmobile pushing it. Does disabling these apps remove their access or does it go beyond that? If I can’t just revoke their access myself, I thibk I’ll be done with samsung myself.

        Idk I have an s22 as well. I disabled the services and installer and one other I can’t think of. Idk how well it blocks them but it’s all I can do cuz I don’t see an uninstall button.

      I think that’s in mostly budget phones because it’s a way for Samsung to subsidize the price. I’ve had multiple flagship Samsung phones and the fold 3/4 and have never seen that installed or had Facebook just randomly pop up. Now if you just want to take a stand against Facebook in general then yeah I feel you

      That really sucks!

      I’m waiting for the Razr vs Flip reviews to see which one comes out on top, but this is a big - for the flip!
