Comment on Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled

Not that it isn’t scummy, but the screenshots in the article show that the Facebook app can be uninstalled, and the “Meta Services” app can be disabled. So it’s not the end of the world.

Can it be uninstalled, or just “uninstalled”? I’m concerned it’s going to be like andoid, where it gives you the option to “uninstall” chrome, but it just reverts it to the factory image and leaves a gaping hole in your security.

I only ever get a “disable” option. 🤨

Wild, maybe its because I’m using an ancient phone. It gives me an uninstall option, but it doesn’t uninstall it.

I figured this might be the case. I hate how inconsistent Android is. It’s like not even the same OS depending on the phone it’s on. There’s always random little differences like this. 😬
