Help! Device Manager is auto-iinstalling apps from ads

This is happening on the S24

 

Some games from google play have ads that auto download applications.  I traced it back toT-Mobile's Device Manager allowing malicious ads to auto install applications.

 

That's right, just watching the ad downloads an app. T-mobile has made it impossible to disable this app.
 

I am fearful of this massive security hole. I am scared of malicious apps being downloaded.

I have seen other complaints over the last few months

 

What can I do fix this major security hole?

    I have the S24U AppSelector and AppManager (I think this one can be uninstalled). Device manager does not install the apps as I would still be getting them as it can't be disabled.

  • It is already disabled and apps still gets auto-installed. ¿Y ahora?

    It's not from the device manager. It's from the App Selector. Just disable it.
