Ratings and reviews

No idea why, but since June feature update, some random system apps refuse to let me change background data settings and a few other settings. Small print says "Disabled by admin" and error says "Blocked by work policy" but this is not and has never been a work phone (I don't even have a job lol). Bought phone unlocked directly from Google. So it's kinda weird and annoying. I like to disable random stuff that feels intrusive or unnecessary and this creeps me out. Stop being so controlling, babe

How to uninstall this application? What does it do? The description is too unclear and looks like scamware. Why is this application needed by default? How to remove it? Or at least disable it. What organisation does this application need access to? Why is this access needed? Why do admins of some IT companies need access to my device? Since there is no info about all above it is difficult to rate it.

The locking system for the Samsung Android phone is really not as efficient as it could be, the most reliable security system is the face and finger print plus the 4 different variety lock works well but on some occasions it tense to be slow and that's because their are different individuals sharing which is not unusual. I would love to see the security upgrade for the phone but since it's an old phone. it does work.
