Galaxy phones come pre-installed with over 30 Samsung applications but the only way to update them is to create a Samsung account (which is optional).
This is making users unsafe since they will not be warned and able to update critical applications (like the phone dialer, the gallery manager, etc).
This is a request for Samsung to allow users to update the pre-loaded apps, from the Galaxy store, without the need to create a Samsung account.
Don’t be dicks.

Google does the same. Your point?
Stock Android phones have no preinstalled Samsung apps. Does that make them unsafe in your opinion? its optional for you to go along with Samsung’s apps or not, and also it is very easy to make a samsung acc. Just log in with your existing email and voila.
I swear that some of the software updates also update major apps.
Also, you could sideload the APKs and update that way. It’s what I did to downgrade Calendar after they removed support for Reminders that one time.
What a weird hill to die on.
Don’t feed the trolls.
OP is free to use or not use any platform they choose, but if others choose differently, it doesn’t make them “sTAnS.”
I’ll never cease being astounded by consumer tribalism.
Stans are something else; Stans are people who mix their ego with a brand and who see anything negative saaid about the brand as something negative about themselves; so they feel the need to come into the defense of the corporation who doesn’t give a flying fuck about them. Those are Stans :)
90% of the responses here are from Stans; who saw my OP (a comment about a flawed security model used by Samsung and a suggestion on how to fix it) as a personal attack on them.
They’re definitely being dicks, but you’re riding the wrong horse. Make more sense to bring up their gradual feature omission and slow rate of growth with respect to the prices i.e. declining value-for-money.
