I have a crap L51 android I have to use for work. I almost never use it except to charge it and delete some texts and the occasional voicemail and update the OS when it sends an alert.

I never browse on it in Firefox.
I have disabled FB, Chrome, never turned on Whatsapp

Almost every day I see a new “app” has been installed, with a little green or yellow munchkin bug icon.

Anyone know how to stop this?

Apps install w/out knowledge nor consent? That’s a whole lot of wrong. Can’t help you with the particulars of the droid, though

It’s usually in ‘SETTINGS’ that you can choose manual or auto installation of new ‘apps’, usually under Privacy or Security................
