how about any time the system updates it automatically installs gambling apps on my phone?

Are you sure it's not some carrier install? (Which are apparently a thing in the US.)

I have never seen anything like that on a flagship Samsung, nor our daughter's A series.

		At work we bought a used tablet off eBay to replace a customer device where they really wanted an identical (obsolete) model. OMG the amount of extra crap that Verizon branded tablet had pre-installed was agonizing. All system apps so you couldn't get rid of it.
