Η OnePlus is facing criticism for pre-installing applications Facebook on her newest smartphones - and apparently, these bloatware can not be completely removed.
ΟThe applications are in the new models One Plus 8, 8 Pro and North part. All three come with the program Facebook App Installer, Facebook App Manager and Facebook Services as system applications, according to Android Police, who noticed the issue.
Bloatware paves the way for the social networking company to install the applications Facebook, Messenger and Instagram directly to your phone without going through it Google Play Store. Users can choose to uninstall the applications. However, according to the owners OnePlus, the program Facebook Services can not be removed, only deactivated.
This will prevent the services from running in the background. However, small amounts of data can still be sent to Facebook, said one owner OnePlus 8 Pro who raised the issue in June.
Η OnePlus confirmed that the preinstallation is real. «OnePlus 8 and Nord series have these applications and services pre-installed. Older phones will not receive these applications and services with subsequent updates"Said a company spokesman.
OnePlus declined to comment. But over the years, Facebook has negotiated deals with vendors to combine its software with their smartphones. Apparently, smartphone makers are paying a fee, while Facebook, meanwhile, is gaining access to several potential users.
The issue was raised last year when the Bloomberg reported how its users Samsung they had no way to uninstall the services Facebook from their Galaxy devices. Now OnePlus users on the company's latest smartphones complain also at a time when his reputation Facebook has taken the downhill.
