PLEASE REMOVE THE VERIZON APP MANAGER!!!

I own my phone, not Verizon. I'm tired of Verizon slamming my phone by auto-installing apps I do not want or approve. I did not give you permission to do that. Please remove the Verizon App Manager from my account and stop auto-downloading bloatware and games to my phone!!!!!

I own my phone and if I have to and can easily take my service somewhere else...

The last thing we would want to see is for you to leave us, Dadawada. I know how I would feel if I had an app that was installing things on my device as well. The great news is that Verizon App Manager can be disabled if you prefer. Here's the steps on how to disable an app on the Galaxy S23, the steps would be similar for any Android device: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-303994/

Let me know if this helps.

Shame on Verizon for constantly installing multiple unwanted games without the user's permission. Over 99% of us DO NOT want this junk on our phones so why put it there after updates?!! After doing some research, many Verizon customers are unaware these games are installed by the "Verizon App Manager". The blame is being put on malware, the app store, etc. The Verizon App Manager has no purpose other than to install unwanted junk. And disabling it only works temporarily. After an update, the app will go back to its spammy ways. It's more than just annoying. I consider it a big privacy concern. Think about all the private information your phone contains... do you want random apps that could potentially steal your information, look at your photos, listen to your calls...
