Digital Wellbeing application removal

[userTeOo1KBPAu]

Why can't I remove or disable the Digital Wellbeing app in my Samsung phone.  This is the most Fahrenheit 451/dystopian application ever.  I DO NOT want an application that literally monitors every single thing I do on the phone and then tells me if I've done it too long?  Please, that's for a child or an adult with control issues.  Is there some way to completely remove it from the phone?  I've done all I think I can to stop this and other intrusive apps, but it's still picking up cache data, which tells me it's still active and monitoring my activities which is unacceptable.  I bought a phone (xcover7 Pro) not a babysitter. How do I get this thing off my phone permanently Samsung?

Digital Wellbeing is a component of the Android OS that Samsung is required by license agreement to include. So ... no, you can't remove it. If you don't want to use it (I never have), ignore it.

even disabled it will enable itself without permission only way is adb commands wellbeing sucks

You can't uninstall Digital Wellbeing, but you can deny it access to usage data.

Settings > Digital Wellbeing > 3 dots, top right > Usage data access > OFF

Didn't know you could do that. Good looking out!

Just looked the issue you raised are not on by default you would have to set those up as the ones at top are on by default it monitors your phone and battery health i dont see that as a bad thing
