Ratings and reviews

Brings up unwanted new updates on home screen every morning. Seems to hide the its title, and doesn't show up in app list, so I had to search for it in the widgets. When I finally found the name, it says that notifications are already off despite a full screen news reel daily. When I search the internet on how to get rid of it, people are also having trouble. It's function is redundant to apps that I already have, its invasive, and it has tons of ads, so they're just making money off it anyway!

This app appeared out of nowhere. I never install apps that I don't thoroughly vet first. Notifications just say content hidden and clicking on it does nothing. Cannot find it in the search bar. You have to go to your apps list in settings to remove, and it only disables it. This thing has easy to many permissions for something that just installed itself with no authorization from the device owner.

This app was force installed on my device with the latest update for my phone. Randomly opens when I'm using my phone or when I first unlock it. It is impossible to uninstall, so I disabled it in the apps to prevent it from running. Go to Settings > Apps > Find "Essentials" application > Force Stop & Disable App Hope this helps someone who's in the same boat!
