The Samsung Galaxy Store is even fucking worse. I've noticed that tiktok is literally shoved in my face on every single platform. It's always the very first one when I open the store. Be it windows, android or the Galaxy store. Not sure about Apple's apps store, but it is ridiculous. On the windows store, they put it under the "essentials" category. Lmao Glad I have Linux on my main computer, though. No ads or bullshit, your computer is truly yours.
i dont even touch the galaxy store unless i absolutely have to, something about it just feels so... off?
There are a handful of customisation apps that are only available through the Galaxy store. The ones I use are all Samsung official apps, but the poorly written descriptions on the install pages definitely make me uncomfortable.
It's like they only intended the apps for their Korean users, and ran the text through Google translate for the English versions.
