Update: Not only can I not uninstall this garbage, but now I've received an email indicating that they've had a data breach. Glad to receive the notice but I could have been better protected by BEING ALLOWED TO UNINSTALL IT; so irritating! Original Review: Bloatware I don't want and can't get rid of. it does allow me to turn it off, but it turns itself back on every few weeks. I'd give 0 stars if that were an option.

Like others, I wish we could uninstall bloatware. But that's not why I'm here. I've already disabled the app and rolled it back and cleared data. Now it wants to update again. No. Just stop. I use a different app, one that's easier to navigate. Funny enough, I'm not even sure this was on my phone prior to the Android 10 update. A waste of space. A waste of time to delete data and permissions.

One of many "system apps" that can't be opened, uninstalled or stopped. Its permissions are hidden, permissions this app DOES NOT NEED. The app can do all sorts of things, without users knowledge, like access my accounts that I can't access anymore because this, or several other apps have permission to change my password and personal information, view and alter my contacts. Some have permission make and receive phone calls, even see my incoming calls and decide if I receive them, and outgoing calls as the number is being dialed, and reroute or end without users knowledge. I'm talking about other apps here because according to the play store, I don't have them or there's no option to write a review just like the open and/or uninstall option, but they update constantly! I can update them! But f%#@ed if they do anything but very bad things to my phone.
