Samsung silently installing apps without user permission hidden setting exposed

I found out recently that Samsung Galaxy devices (in this case A24 with One UI 7 + Android 15) were installing apps silently from Galaxy Store — without user consent.

    This wasn’t from Play Store or APKs. The apps showed up post-update even with all permissions disabled.

    I investigated and traced it to a specific hidden toggle inside Galaxy Store settings.

    Video includes proof + how to disable it step-by-step. Curious if anyone else has seen this behavior, and whether it happens on other One UI devices
