Ah, so that's what that is. DISABLED

Thanks for letting us know, I just checked and disabled it.

Something like this should be illegal. Disabled.

Thanks for this! I disabled it. I want my phone running as lean and mean as possible.

If you own the phone outright, paid in full, they should disclose what they are doing to it. I cleared and froze right after upgrading.

You all are welcome, i always try to share helpful info for my friends.

This was also present on S6 and forward. Not new, but this should never have been added in the first place. I don't want random games on my phone.

I tried to disable but asked "Would you like to replace app with factory version?" Is another app that does the same thing going to replace it? I can't disable DT ignite if I don't click yes

Its because DT ignite has updates installed. Click yes and it will put the "factory" non-updated version back on the phone. Then it will allow u to disable as normal.

Thanks so much for the find.

For those that may not have found it yet I have just started using Package Disabler Pro which let's you disable all of the verison and other bloatware without root...

DT ignite is a cancer waiting to spread. Forcing apps to install onto the device that has almost half its storage already taken by bloat. Haven't seen any apps besides the beam software install without my permission, had to install Nextradio manually ( which has annoying ads ). DT Ignite could one day install an app that can compromise your phones security due to programming flaws. All quickrooter exploits have been patched, however if it feels like a Trojan it is a Trojan

Just updated my VZ Galaxy S6 edge plus 64gb and this Cancerous AIDS is in that update as well. Before my eyes I had apps appearing like magic installing themselves one by one.

This is worse than most phones that have crap in their root preinstall folder that show up after every restart

Haven't had anything wacky installed, it's even installing an updated Instagram not from the Google play store
