I absolutely hate those kinds of things!
You get a new device and are anxious as all get out to set it up and play with it, and a never ending pestilence of notifications (ie. interruptions) keep popping up to 'advise' you of some stupid 'feature' that you dont feel like fooling with right then!
Of course, eventually most of us get so sick of it that our hands and minds automatically click on whatever just to make it go away.
Then of course, we have no idea what it is called or where to find it to turn it off when that 'feature' comes back to haunt us later on.
I wish that there was a way to just turn all that crap off with one method right at the beginning for those of us with no interest in that sort of thing.
Thanks for the reply. I don't feel so alone in setting these things up any longer.
I think that there is a way of simply turning off all, or nearly all of these options/features during setup, BUT, you do lose out on some things that could be useful. Honestly, you have to almost be, or really do need to be an employee at a shop that sells and sets up these devices on a daily basis so that you can see what all happens when you say yes and no to various setup options. Unfortunately, some of these broad choices that you are asked to make during setup could potentially affect hundreds of features and behaviors. Right now, the best I can do is avoid anything that involves direct monitoring and submission of user statistics and storage (in most cases) of storage of site and vendor password and login info.
Right now, I could probably go back and do a factory setup, trying to eliminate this, but I really don't have the time. I had just bought and returned a Z Fold 3 after nearly being fully setup. Even if I did this, I don't really know if I could identify which setup permission caused this behavior to happen, and I could even potentially slightly change how I had setup the phone initially, adding yet another feature I do not want or like.
Right now, on the Z Fold 3 and 4 I am having some problems with both not fully displaying some parts of a webpage I use alot, and that bothers me on a new and expensive device. Overall, I am happy wth the Folds, but I am seeing that, at least in my case, they are not without some issues.
