The fact that it is undeletable bloatware on Samsung kills all value that this app might have. Moreover, on Galaxy S6 after factory reset, it does not even appear on the list of apps. And disabling it on widget screen does not prevent occasional popups. Facebook app, being bloatware as well, at least has the decency to actually stop bothering you when disabled. Regardless, any bloatware practices should be stopped.

Sorry to hear you're not a fan of Briefing! Have you tried disabling it yet? To do this just open your device Settings, locate Briefing from your list of apps, then choose the disable option. That should do it, but if you need help please contact us at flip.it/help.

uninstall option in the app store does not uninstall the app but rather uninstalls the previous update!!! any app that is forced into users devices where user users cannot uninstall it because the device manufacturer was paid some ad money... is a security risk and a virus in my opinion!

forced installed on my device, multiple data breaches to the company, and they harvest your data, get rid of it as soon as you can and check often to make sure it's not brute forcing it's way back onto your phone without consent
