Ratings and reviews

Self downloaded at some point, opens automatically when I unlock my phone, and has ads all over it. Completely invasive and unsolicited. it was actually really hard to find the name because it's logo is almost identical to the app called Moment. Google lense helped. Was only able to uninstall by finding it in the play store and selecting uninstall. Still shows up in settings after uninstalling. I ended up disabling it in settings.

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!

How to Disable. Most of us can't uninstall. You can disable and force stop it though. Here's how: 1. ​Go to Settings. 2. "Apps" or "Apps & notifications." 3. ​Locate "Essentials" (May need to select "See all apps") ​4. Some can "Uninstall". Do that. If you can't then: 5. "Force Stop." and 6. "Disable." (Ignore the warning, it's BS meant to get you to keep it ) You may have to redo these steps every time you update your phone.
