Just about every single pre-installed app? Their store, their browser, Bixby, Bixby vision, messaging, their car mode, their friends, Galaxy smartwatch BS, SmartThings, their weather app. It's all - to an app - worse than the alternatives, and worse than Google's defaults if that's your preference.

Takes like 5 minutes to do them all if you are a die hard Samsung hater. > Their store, their browser, Bixby, Bixby vision, messaging, their car mode, their friends, Galaxy smartwatch BS, SmartThings, their weather app. It's all - to an app - worse than the alternatives, and worse than Google's defaults if that's your preference. They don't have their own car mode or messaging, they use Android Auto and Google Messages. As someone who uses some of them, Samsung apps are actually quite good generally. Even if they were all hot garbage, there is nothing wrong with having more options IMO. All you lose is a bit of diskspace if you disable them.

As of late 2021 when I got my last Samsung this was not the case for the default messaging app. I thought driving mode (not Android Auto alternative) was different too but I do feel less confident about that.
- JohnFen 3y agoAt least they don't have that horrific Bixby Button anymore, though.
