Much to my dispair, I find myself unable to #DeleteFacebook...

Reset your phone. Worth it.

@Jackeast funny thing is I did reset it this weekend. This is what comes with a factory reset

You can disable system apps. Deactivate or delete your account though if serious. Don't let them keep your data.

@gitblame Manually deactivated my account by not using it for four years.

It is permanently installed on my phone because Samsung is annoying.

You can remove system apps with some googling. Might need to root it might not. Look around for your phone, check xda, YouTube, etc.

O.O
SYSTEM APP MY @$$

First time seeing that FB android app can't be deleted? Hhmm

where preinstalled too on my a5 6 along with msoffice(first action uninstall)

Android recognises any applications installed during the android installation process as system applications. Root Uninstaller will take care of this for you, or you can grab Odin (or whatever tool is for samsung devices nowadays) and get a shiny, new, clean OS that doesn't come with bloatware.

@monr0e not complete correct:
Android has two main partitions: system and data. in Sytem lives the complete root filesystem, in data is "our" stuff. when we boot the system partition is mounted without writerights, only when an update is performed it is possible to write the system partition.

@rEaL-jAsE That's nice. There's this dumb phone that is preventing me from doing it.

This was so upsetting I almost downvoted your rant but then remembered my rage should be directed at the lizard man instead.

You can disable it tho.

Likewise, but I disabled it from ever running.
Same with "Facebook installer" that would randomly install software on my device without permission, and others like Amazon, etc.

Samsung is bothersome.

@stop custom android ROMs are usually finalised as an image by performing a basic installation on a test device, using a version of the bootloader that allows staging. This can be done over ADB, over ping/pull, or even from a mountpoint that works (in layman's terms) by sort of "jtagging" the mSD slot to a chain. The latter is rare since it's pretty inefficient, but all of these methods are, in most senses, elaborate forms of sticking a ROM on your memory card and updating through a bootloader.

The advantage to these methods is that they require little to no interaction during the process, rather than clumsily clicking through a bootloader with volume keys. Additionally, write fuses can be triggered during this process that prevent am amateur from subsequently unlocking the bootloader, although this also relies on certain security built into the Linux kernel.

Nevertheless, since this process is essentially a glorified system update, the bundled apps are often seen as system apps.

Furthermore, the statement that the system partition isn't always mounted is no longer necessarily true. Play services can mount the partition as writeable, as can certain stock apps, that's been the case since I think Gingerbread, with the intention being the ability for Google to deliver security patches to devices where manufacturers and service providers might take several months.

Of course this has been abused.

@AlgoRythm
Looks like you are using Evie launcher.

Me too!
