I am using a Samsung phone and even with all privileges deactivated it creates "stories". This seems illegal. What is your opinion?
I know I should use a different OS than stock or even another phone brand but this is what I currently have.

You can delete or disable the service that creates those stories. Download Shizuku and activate it, then use Canta to delete it.
Wow i didnt know that app. I'm new into that, and a noon, but can I use this to get rid of many system apps? And what is Canta?
Canta uses Shizuku to delete user and systen apps. There is also a few categories like Recommended, Advanced, Unsafe, etc. Most of the apps also have comments on it by the dev (I suppose).
