Someone feel free to refresh me but I think it's Samsung in the US you can only disable Facebook not delete it and it still calls home even if disabled. Probably other manufacturers as well. If you roll with android over apple 100% get a pixel. Yes fuck Google as well but they don't have any 3rd party shit collecting your data unless you install it.

You can use adb to uninstall those kinds of baked in apps. Its completely fucked up that you need to though.

Nope, S23 Ultra unlocked here, no Facebook on device.

There were some Samsung and google apps but that's it

[–] Thulcander@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Not so. Unlocked is Facebook free. Blame your carrier

This isn't correct or at least it isn't a universal issue. My Samsung Galaxy 21+ doesn't have Facebook on it, disabled or otherwise.
