I have just received a Samsung galaxy fold5 through the post, however I imagine it's full of bloatware and I'm inexperienced with this type of device. What is the first things that you would do to secure it? Thank you 😊

Edit: I mean to be more privacy focused

I can't even find a custom or stock rom for it :/ You might not have picked the best phone for privacy my dude.
