If it's anything like what t-mobile pre-installed on their phones, appSelector is a feature that gives you more control over the apps that can be installed on your device during the initial setup process. But I didn't use so I can't say for sure.

You are partially correct. AppSelector is basically bloatware that carriers love to install on phones so that it automatically downloads "useful" apps. Remove/disable it and don't look back lol.

Make sure Uninstall updates, or u might as well leave it active. With full access to your banking permissions while you're at it! What could possibly go wrong?
