Side note for those who hate these pre installed apps: It's very easy to delete apps connecting your device to a computer and using ADB to bypass the artificial software lock.

It is and that's how I removed Facebook. But I'm not even going to even entertain the prospect of using a device that once had TikTok installed on it. I've been using Samsung phones for over a decade now, I think it's time for a change.

I believe ADB only deletes them for your user, so they're still polluting your device's space.
