As a followup to thread Weird chinese “friDay” Apps on Fairphone 4
My FP4 (newly bought with android 11) got these Chinese bloatware apps after 3 days with its update to android 13.
Before the update I had NO (aka zero, 0, null) apps installed. Not even a google account was attached to the phone.
Tip: under AppInfo for these apps you can "ForceClose"and “Disable” the app and they will be gone from the app-tray. Though still present in Settings->Apps->SpecialAppAccess->UnrestrictedAccess.
Could it be this was caused by my operator being Vodaphone which has a partnership with FarEaseTone-Taiwan? So maybe some vodaphone software is the cullprit.
