What it is

Chinese app that spoofs as a Singapore financial and/or payment app to show advertisement notifications (mostly loans)

It accesses locations, contacts, camera, mic by default, some people in Thailand also reported that they cannot use legitimate regional banking apps until this app was disabled or uninstalled with ADB method. While newer devices that start with Oppo ColorOS 13 and/or Realme UI 4 (around Android 13) are already baked in, it seems likely that it comes with a system update at older devices of those brands, so this is shady and constantly lost trust from many users.

Commands

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.fintech.life

To put it back:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.fintech.life

Every removal listed here is per-user only: the system image is untouched, and the restore command puts the app back from the copy already on the device. Nothing is downloaded.

This is not the directory. Here we say what a package is in general; what happens on your particular television is on your model's entry, and that one wins. The same package can be dead weight on one set and hold the home screen up on another.
