It's opt-in, isn't that what we want for these things? I'll never have to use it. I don't get it but I wouldn't say it's creepy, I won't judge people who like different apps than I do.
Even if it's opt in it's preinstalled and gathering data. Just like all the upday and Facebook crap that Samsung installs on their phones even if you don't use it.
Also I don't think you can own trillions and not be a deeply evil person and I wouldn't want to be that.
Do we know that it's gathering data or is that FUD/paranoia?
I just got a new Samsung phone and I don't have Facebook on here, I must have uninstalled it immediately. It's not in the apps list but disabled, it's fully non present. Is there a reason to be upset about this?
What does "re-enabled" mean in this context? Does it mean you disable the app at the Android OS level and then later it becomes not disabled but still inactive? Or does it mean that this feature/app actually becomes your lock screen again without you turning it on?
I just left a company that’s enabling the preloads of this product and the ‘opt-in campaign’ will be full screen, aggressive, and difficult or impossible to stop depending on the device model.
Utter trash. Motorola has broken the stock lock screen, and this is somehow part of it. I can no longer choose list style notifications, and viewing notifications on the lock screen requires an extra tap.
If you leave Glance enabled it also breaks your lock screen clock appearance, and forces a small clock pushed into the corner.
Wow creepy alert. How do they think this is even remotely ok??

On my Moto G, Glance keeps getting re-enabled every month or so even after I disable it every time. Annoying.

Did you read the terms when you bought a Samsung device? Not saying it's ok, but appearantly this behaviour is for most people.

Glance? That obnoxious spyware that should be amongst the very first thing that you remove or disable? Yeah, not in a million years.

aouch, my ugly face is definetly not gonna be used.
Do not undervalue yourself. It can help discourage using competitor's product then.
