If I rooted my phone can I somehow remove them(maybe with adaway and canta)??
But tbh I will never buy a Samsung again.
Edit: I don’t think you need root to remove it.
I am not a professional, but i would say you can probably remove the App, BUT with just removing the App it might still be somewhere on the phone on a deeper level that you cannot really see right away and is hard to trace.
The article is also ridiculous… even the hidden Facebook installer (and alternatives) etc. could do all that. So the components that can only be removed with root access… This is about Israel, which specializes in this… as if they were developing spyware that is listed as an app…
Always root if in doubt. Even that is not enough sometimes, but it usually is.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted anyways after that no longer can unlock bootloader thingy.
