Just had a round of apps being installed without my permission! 

 
Tiktok and about 10 games were loaded onto my phone while I was trying to transfer carriers. No updates, no offers, no restarting the phone at this point. I just popped the new SIM in and within about 10 minutes I'm getting toast messages saying apps are being installed and going into my games app.
 
@Communityuser3049203 STOP! Last 2 times this happened I was not making any carrier/system changes.

That would be your new carrier adding the apps not Samsung you put there sim in and it auto downloads apps that your carrier selected

I don't see that. But wouldn't that disable my data/voice?

It wouldn't harm your phone at all, often : data carriers will pre-install the Mobile Services app

Yes like @GaryB82 said, it is your Carrier. Not samsung.

Guess I should be happy the garbage they install can be deleted.
