"how can i stop it".... 

Samsung S20+ - Settings->Apps

On the menu next to "your apps" separator before app list, toggle "show system apps" to ON... , hit OK

Scroll down to Verizon App Manager... 

Disable (at the bottom) ...

Thats a non answer.  Im to a point where a root canal is more fun than interacting with Verizon.

I have a Droid and the usual instructions for finding and disabling the app didn't work. I had to expand the Verizon App Manager as an app was downloading to get access to it and then was able to disable it.  Verizon should be ashamed for installing apps without permission.

I just had this happen recently. The Verzion App Manager has installed two apps on my phone without my permission. This app is now disabled. Shame on you Verizon.

Hey Delores, wouldn't it be more helpful to send messages to everyone on this thread who is having the same issues? It's extremely rude to find help for one person but not for everyone.

It already installed two apps on my phone and was trying to install a third one when I caught it. No app should be installing other random apps on your phone without your permission. Verizon you need to fix this issue. 

I'm pretty computer savvy and I can't even figure out what the Verizon app managers actual job is on my phone. Especially with the fact that my phone is an Android phone and designed to maintenance apps on its own.

And no I do not want to one-on-one conversation with you in order to fix this issue. I want you to post it so everybody can see it in this form.

Hello, speedpilotf16. You can stop apps from being installed again by going to Settings > Apps > Verizon App Manager > Disable. Try this method, and let us know if this helped fix the issue.
