What it is
Samsung Flow (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.galaxycontinuity)
It's a service to 'seamlessly' connect your devices. You can authenticate your Tablet/PC with your smartphone, share content between devices, and sync notifications or view contents from your smartphone on your Tablet/PC.
You can turn on the smartphone's Mobile Hotspot to keep your Tablet/PC connected. You can also log in to your Tablet/PC with your biometric data (Iris, Fingerprints) if you register with Samsung Pass.

Has more than 81 permissions. Not the kind of app you want to keep installed if you don't use it. It increases the attack surface and can potentially compromise a lot of things (including your computer). FYI, 4 CVE has been discovered between 2021 and 2022: https://www.opencve.io/cve?vendor=samsung&product=samsung_flow

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.
