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.

It's basically remote command line control for android, from your PC.

You can backup stuff, copy stuff, install stuff...

Google "ADB Samsung debloat". You'll find a lot of tutorials. ADB is a part of android developer tools (it's free).

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

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

I believe thats just part of the service provider bloatware packages that come preinstalled into the OS. You have to root the phone and do a clean install without the bloatware to get rid of it. Its annoying as hell and I think its stupid that these companies can preinstall anything on these phones.

Not so. Unlocked is Facebook free. Blame your carrier

Oh fuck yes....just checked my unlocked Samsung...no Facebook. Definitely a carrier thing fuck off Verizon

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.
