I want a flip but Samsung's adding of Meta Services to their devices is a deal breaker.
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
I didn't know the S22 was considered budget.
Well now you do
Apparently flagship and budget mean the same thing.
If you say so
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!
