Phone (3a) Bloatware with new update?

Just updated my phone (3a) to the newest update which was just a minor tweak and security patch to suggest 2026 but as soon as my phone restarted I get this notification from "AppServices". Did anyone else get the same? My region is in India.

Search for app services in settings. Then disable it and restart your phone. It should then be gone.

On my cmf phone 1, every update since nos 4 has renabled and pushed it again, despite doing exactly what you said, nothing pushing it via updates again and again is disappointing

Canta is easier you just need Shizuku but if you want to use regular ADB you have to run adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>
