why is T-Mobile downloading apps without my permission?
T-Mobile play in the app selector have been sending me notification and have been downloaded without my permission or my initiation several times this week and I have uninstalled them several times a...
I found a solution. I went into the settings where it shows every app on the phone and deleted "app selector" and disabled "T-Mobile play". Play wouldn't let me uninstall, but I did uninstall all updates and disabled it. That was a week ago and I haven't had an issue since.
I was very angry to suddenly - after joining T Mobile months ago - have Facebook and Amazon Shopping apps downloaded to my device without any permission or notification. Based on other help threads here I'm guessing it's the "App Selector" feature that did this. You can try uninstalling that app to see if it stops the auto downloading. I just did and am waiting to see if that works (on a Galaxy A71).
