Yeah, watch out for those nosy people looking over your shoulder at your phone, they're spying on you.

Please ignore all the data mining we're doing on your phone and please don't make us continually harass you first thing in the morning every morning to accept new terms and conditions. (For what it's worth, my Fold 7 harasses me to accept two sets of updates to terms and conditions first thing in the morning every morning)

Remove your Samsung account.

It is needed for a bunch of things including all bixby stuff (which is admittedly starting to get useful) but those constant ToS updates can drive a man mad.

If any Samsung employees are reading this: whoever is pushing those ToS changes is probably a on Apples payroll ;)

    I've had Samsung phones for years and never made a Samsung account. Every few weeks my phone suggests signing in or accepting new terms and conditions, and I refuse.

    I know Google is mining my information, but I convince myself I'm "sticking it to the man" and taking at least one small stand...

    If I sign out, samsung nukes step tracking and basically neuters my watch's health metrics.

      There are a bunch of free or cheap alternative apps. Probably not as smoothly integrated, but years ago a change to Samsung's terms popped up in the health app; I saw it said they could do anything they want with my private health data, so I rejected the terms and stopped using it.
