I found Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify on my home, yet I never even visited their websites on this phone. I never recently installed or visited sus places, I ran a full scan with Kaspersky, found nothing. I disabled “MetaAppInstall” from the settings. I have a Redmi Note 12 Pro. I did some googling and it says for Facebook that it’s because of sponsorship. Is this it? You literally can’t escape from those apps even by never looking at them because your phone will force them on you? Or is there some other reason? Edit: I can uninstall them, and I did. It’s just that they installed themselves and I don’t want them to do it again

    Be careful about researching rooting your phone carefully. Some financial apps may not work on it. On some phones, once the phone is rooted, it can’t be unrooted.
