Why did security update download these games?

[cleverEyes]

Updated my phone to the latest security update, and apparently, three games came along with it? The same thing happened with One UI 6.1.1, and I deleted them right away last time too.

Is there any way to turn these auto-installs off? I don't need them.

Carriers tweak the update to add things like games or other apps if you have a carrier locked phone. This is a known fact and people claiming otherwise because "it has not been their experience" are misleading people. Just because *some* people have not experienced it does not mean it's not a fact.
