Vodafone Start updating without permisson

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone can help.

Previously I had disabled all of Vodafone bloatware. I updated my S6 Edge to the latest Samsung update and now Vodafone Start keeps installing itself and does not have a option to disable.

I uninstall updates and revert back to factory setting for it. Which I then ensure is disabled with no permission to access anything on my handset.

Then this crap installs itself again.

 

How do I get rid of this useless piece of crap taking up memory and data!!!

Hmmm, about a month ago, but that was on a SIM-free device.

Good morning.   I MAY have found an answer.  in desperation I took to looking at everything I could see on my my phone (oldish Galaxy 3mini). In  Settings > Widgets I found "active apps manager" .  Press and hold this brings it to the home screen where you can open it.  Select "downloads" and scroll to Vodafone Myweb,  press uninstall.       This got rid of the intrusive Vodafone Start and allowed "internet" app to open at my chosen homepage.  No more MyWeb, but at least Start hasn't taken over.     I can see a Start app, but you can now opt to open it not have it thrust on you.

 

Hope this may be useful
