Phone update just installed 17 apps

Nothing good either

edit: frequent comments

Don't buy a budget phone/ this is what you get for buying a cheap android: this is a Samsung S25, not exactly a budget phone.

This is why I buy iPhone/ and people still slander iPhone/wouldn't happen to my Google pixel: I actually don't think I can happen to apple because they don't allow apps to download other apps BUT it's still not fully Samsungs fault for ​​Verizon installing apps, though they do allow it, unlike Apple

this is malware/virus/hacked: this is bloatware

you can go and disable ___ and it won't happen again: someone sent a tutorial link and I followed it, but it did say I might have to redo it every time I update so🤷‍♂️

you can buy phones directly from the manufacturer and this won't happen: wasn't aware. I'll consider it, though I just got this phone today so it will be awhile

____ app is good tho: maybe but I'm still deleting it

Verizon needs to be sued/ this should be illegal: I probably agreed to this in a contract I didn't read

your kid installed them: don't have children or any other people on my phone

UPGRADE YOUR GOOGLE CLOUD SERVICES OR EISE WE'LL CUT OFF YOUR EMAIL ACCESS!!!! Or clear up space using this link that fails repeatedly and repeats the above sentence but occasionally works and you have to select, delete, verify delete every single item individually so its just better if you just stfu and give us money.

Don't worry we'll send you multiple emails per day to both eat up what little storage you have left and to remind you that you're going to lose your email access if you don't upgrade your Google cloud services or delete a bunch of things. Also we noticed you tried to delete some photos/videos from the cloud to free up storage, but because you forgot to delete them from your phone first, we decided to readd them to the cloud to eat up more of your storage again. Have you considered just upgrading to your Google cloud services instead of trying to delete things????

Google is warning me that I'm running out of space for like 2 years now. I disagree. I think 300 MB is plenty for emails.

Could have also been a phishing email trying to get a juicy click

Same thing my mom is doing, but worse she started deleting photos too (luckily I have them saved in an SSD) and apps that barely scratch over 50mb. And all of this while not understanding that phone storage is not Google cloud storage. 🙄 Ffs so hard to use your brain instead of giving in to this nonsense.

I use a third party sync app. Only folders that I specify sync to Drive. Best to lock down your phone and look for a syncing method you can have granular control over.

I get that same email, like what we supposed to delete then?

My twin sister no doubt, give her a hug and tell her that her twin feels for her.
