    Well my $1800 phone has push notification ads for mobile games I can’t disable because Samsung flags the Galaxy Store as a system app so you can’t disable notifications. You can see here that the option is greyed out.

    They also install shitty games with “security updates” every month or so.

      So you want the batteries to not show ads? I don’t understand. Do you have any actual relatable issues between the batteries and other products?

        There’s actually a way to kill them, but it’s super hidden.

        You have to go to the phone notification settings, go into advanced settings, select the option to disable notification categories per app, then go back into notification settings, open the app list, open the three-dot menu and select system apps, then find the Galaxy store, then select categories to disable.

        Easy, right?

          hmm, so… I had the notifications category set to on. by doing this, I could see the different categories, so I think you have to have it on to select the correct categories instead of switching it off like you said.

          HOWEVER, check this bullshit out:

          I can’t turn important updates off, and there’s one they don’t even let me see. wtf!! I wish there was another company that did folding phones as good as Samsung 😢
