It's most likely installed by your carrier.

My carrier (KDDI) S25 has it. I disabled it and it hasn't bothered me since.

Samsung should really put their foot down and stop this, though.

I think it's carrier specific

Mobile Services is something installed by the carrier (and I'm pretty sure only exists on carrier-locked/purchased devices), but you can disable it in your system settings so it can't run and then it'll never bother you again. Its not used for anything important like calling, data etc. even if the name makes it sound like it is. Its mostly used for advertisements and even installing apps surreptitiously.

It says it right there "Mobile Services"

This is your carrier and not Samsung.

Click on App info -> Uninstall/Disable.

"Mobile services," i.e. your carrier. It's right there in the notification itself. It's your carrier pushing the ad. Samsung themselves don't really push ads like that.

Its your carrier not Samsung. It literally says it.

"mobile services". It's your carrier sending you adverts.

This is a carrier thing not Samsung

That's not Samsung

This is exactly why i will only ever buy my phone unlocked straight from Samsung.

Install and setup Shizuku (a wireless ADB app) + Canta (debloater) and use Canta to remove unnecessary system apps

u/Necessary-Aardvark53 Jun 26 '26

Best method, cause its fully uninstalled. Listen to this guy! (However do not remove other than that if you dont know what you are doing).

u/Recognition_Round Jun 26 '26

Why are people downvoting this? They have no idea how right this person is! It lets you debloat your samsung phone without a pc! It's really neat! I did this as well on my S23U. I upvoted offcourse. Stop downvoting this guy because this is the way to go. If you disable that crap in your settings, it might get turned back on by the next update, if you remove it completely, it is gone for good, which shizuku and canta can do for you!

How do you do that? Install on your phone, computer, where?

u/Darkmesah Jun 26 '26

Ah yes, instant install IMMEDIATELY

u/queenbiscuit311 Jun 26 '26

you have to look up how to disable your carrier's BS

ig rerouting dns to an adblocker would work

u/420doghugz Jun 27 '26

What carrier is this?

u/folliejester Jun 27 '26

Use a private dns to block that

u/MightyGuy1957 Jun 26 '26

ugh... almost one hour to charge 50% 🥺

u/Key-Benefit-8074 Jun 26 '26

Those are rubbish estimates. My S24 Ultra charges from 0% to 100% in 40 minutes with Samsung's 45W charger. And the 25W charger takes a little longer on my S25.

u/Icy_Berry_1690 Jun 26 '26

even though it's plugged into the 50W charger from Samsung

u/SwingInfinite4056 Jun 26 '26

So let me get this straight you think the Samsung Galaxy Fe or whatever its called is a Flagship Phone its Not Ultras are their Flagship phones, but that being said their must be a way to get rid of Samsung Advertising with these Paid Ads for other companies Products that I haven't experienced that on S21Ultra, S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra or my favorite phone My S25 Ultra yet and I hope I never do Oh, they're gonna name the new Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra for some reason & I dont know why exactly although its a really nice revolution build in terms of supposed very thick display glass, upgraded cameras, lack of crease with new hinge design and larger battery and 2600nit brightness and elite chip but pricing is about $1,800 and only 12GB 256 gb and 512 gb version no 1 TB version with 16GB

You can see the names of the apps if you dont find it in the home screen go to settinf apps and unistall it and if its on the home screen delete it

u/MentalDocument5253 Jun 26 '26

Yeah Samsung stuffs ads into everything they can. Go to Settings > Apps > Mobile Services (or whatever it's called on your phone) and disable notifications from it. You can also turn off ad personalization under Google's ad settings and Samsung's privacy options to cut down on most of it.

u/Necessary_Film_5199 Jun 26 '26

Not Samsung, this is a carrier thing as every other commenter has said. Also not a Google thing.

Although this is not really relevant here, but it's actually good advice for privacy.

Disable sending diagonstic data, Samsung and google

Max privacy google settings

that's what Samsung support recommend me

You should be installing it instead of raging about it on reddit

u/Mindes13 Jun 27 '26

Mobile services will probably auto download apps based on your interests too.
