Cancel weekly download of games

Guys, it's called Content Manager. That's the actual TMO app doing the installs. If you go to settings and apps like T.I.M. showed, you scroll down to Contemt Manager, tap "Manage in Contemt Manager" and then there's a checkbox in the TMO app itself that says "Allow to install apps".

Uncheck that and see if it works. (As a failsafe I've also gotten rid of App Selector, but you can't uninstall these. You can't even disable Content Manager. Bunch of spyware and junkware...)

Try uninstalling Gaming Hub if you have it

I just disabled App Selector and that stopped it, I feel like it’s bad enough that Samsung gets to put in their own app store.

It's not called "App Selector." Maybe it is called different things on different phones. You must be referring to the application called "T-Mobile App Experience." I was also sure it had to do with that application, but when I search through it, I cannot find anything to do with games. Surely there must be a solution other than just uninstalling things. There must be a way to just opt-out. They really need to fix this. I will try deleting this application too and hope it works, but I have a feeling it won't. I regret ever pressing yes when it first asked me.

I regret pressing yes too!  Nothing but stupid games that nobody wants.  There has to be a way to opt out of the effing thing.  I tried disabling app selector (it was called that on my S22+)  If you find out how to opt out please keep us posted!  I have been grasping at straws for the answer.  

I can't find anything called "App Selector" which most people seem to have. Ha ha so strange. My phone came with no such thing! So weird. Well, I'll try doing some more searching around later to see what I can find. Someone might even already have the answer, but probably won't even see this blog until it's too late. Lol. I'm sure we'll figure it out. Better yet, maybe we will get lucky and T-Mobile will suddenly decide to cancel this option and terminate the sending of automatic games, yay haha! :D

It won't show up in the same area as all of your installed apps. You have to go under settings and then apps. I just uninstalled it. They really need to give you an option to OPT-OUT though...

Thank you for this. I have a galaxy S21 and I couldn't find the ap. I went under settings and under apps and found appselector and uninstalled it. BTW- T-mobile support is convinced they are not a part of game programs and that it's not related to the company. 

I HOPE THIS HELPS.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried Maia’s suggestion from this thread?

When you get your game download, pull down on the notification and tap the spotlight settings. There should be an option to set to "never" which opts you out of the weekly download. Maia shared a screenshot to show what it looks like. 

On my phone , its being downloaded by the "T-mobile Device Manager ".  Its under settings > apps > Device Manager . It cannot be disabled and i even when i remove permissions it still downloads the games

Access the Settings app on your device. Select Apps or Apps & notification settings. Locate and select the AppSelector or AppManager app, then select Uninstall.
