All of a sudden, Amazon search has popped up on the right click contextual menu for me. Haven't seen it before today. I can't find a way to remove it either; I'd prefer not to be reminded every time I try to copy something that I can buy Travis County district court on Amazon. I use the app a lot because of Amazon lockers as well as shopping at an Amazon fresh store. So deleting it (which would presumably remove it) really isn't a great choice for me.
Anyone else encountering this? Any solutions? Thanks for any help.
EDIT: After some great comments, I decided to reininstall/reboot and that seemed to have gotten rid of it. TBD if it comes back though. Would still like to know if it's possible to adjust that menu. Some apps I use are hidden behind the overflow menu, which would be cool if I could reorganize. Thanks!
SUPA EDIT: Did some more sleuthing and may have found an answer. As I commented here, try putting your app in deep sleep. While it kills all background activity, I think it also stops apps from displaying the problem app's menu button.
The information he asked for is pretty important to helping you solve your problem. It’s a little annoying to see someone asking for support but not really putting effort into helping others help you.
Thanks, yes I know that tone sucks but really how should anyone help with that lack of any infos?
I mean the question posed I figured you could glean enough that more info would be redundant. I don't see how Amazon being on a right click menu would be reliant on an OS update. As for what apps it was in, again, I figured since I asked for the right click menu, it would be apparent that every right click menu was showing that, since all apps have that same menu. And the other two questions I had answered already.
As someone who works in tech support I understand the pain of dealing with uninformed users. I figured though if someone asked a technical question on a site as obscure as Lemmy, on an android forum, that would give some credit to the fact that I'm not just some schmuck with a Galaxy a54. Instead I was getting comments on why I use Amazon. I mean come on lol, not everyone is living a foss/privacy guaranteed life.
I feel like different flavours of android might just add something like that Amazon search thing for extra money, while it's less likely to happen in plain Android (I hope).
Very true, I'm sure there are some manufacturers that have sold out, and incorporated amazon search into their OS. Even with that though, that just addresses the reason why it's there, not the question I asked: how to get rid of it. Thanks for the response though, I appreciate it.
Custom ROM. Maybe ADB
No, but an OS update could introduce the framework to allow apps like Amazon to insert a search option
Then why are you acting like one?
Thanks for the response. I would just like to say even if an update did do that, that still doesn't have anything to do with how to remove it... When I posted this, I was hoping there was just some setting I was missing.
