A lot of companies release utilities that they’ve worked on as open source. When they do that they’re usually under their github company url.

This is a utility that was developed by Snapchat, I’m not sure about this case, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are giving data to Snapchat.

It’s built in to your camera app. If you go to the “Fun” section of your camera app (no idea if it’s still called that on the latest version) you’ll get asked to accept Snap Chats terms.

Same, the only reason why I know about it is because I clicked on it by mistake.

The only reason I don’t use Samsung phones is because of things like this

Same. Too much extra crap I’ll never use. Their hardware is phenomenal though. If they offered a vanilla android option, I’d give up my pixel and switch over.

Camera kit is an SDK for augmented reality face tracking. It’s probably a dependency for some AR feature on Samsung phones or an app you’ve installed that has AR features, maybe “AR Zone”?

Bloat. Disable updates and remove with adb.

Best way to that is Shizuku in (wireless) ADB mode + Canta. Canta shows you how risky deleting apps are, alongside letting you delete/disable them.

NOTE: Shizuku DOES NOT have access to the Work profile. (AKA /storage/emulated/10)
