I am using a Samsung phone and even with all privileges deactivated it creates “stories”. This seems illegal. What is your opinion?
I know I should use a different OS than stock or even another phone brand but this is what I currently have.
You can delete or disable the service that creates those stories. Download Shizuku and activate it, then use Canta to delete it.
Wow i didnt know that app. I’m new into that, and a noon, but can I use this to get rid of many system apps? And what is Canta?
Canta uses Shizuku to delete user and systen apps. There is also a few categories like Recommended, Advanced, Unsafe, etc. Most of the apps also have comments on it by the dev (I suppose).
You can also try Universal android debloat.
It can disable Gallery, though that has its own issues on Samsung.

Well, don’t. I know that’s not immediately helpful, but Samsung is well known for shipping tons of useless bloatware in their Android ROM and not giving a shit about user privacy.
I think it was their CEO who suggested simply not having sensitive conversations within earshot of their Smart-TVs, when it became known that they’re always listening.
