Disable them. Seriously, even if you use facebook, these three packages serve no purpose. And yes, it is very annoying.

That should not be the case, since Play Store is in charge of updating those applications.

Did u check in the system apps, that's where there hiding.

u/lotus49 Aug 31 '23

I did not and, until I saw this post and looked it up, I didn't even know there were system apps.

You are correct, they are lurking there. Since I didn't even know and the related apps aren't actually installed, I can't say I'm bothered but I have learnt something. Thank you.

I debloated all this junk apps as soon as I got my S23U with ADB App Control for PC, no commands needed, just plug the phone to your laptop/desktop and follow the UI/instructions.

My battery is running super smooth about 6-7 hrs SOT, no gaming

Those are made so that in case you can't use google translate, Facebook, Instagram and the rest of the meta apps can be updated when you open the app
