Program Cannot Be Uninstalled (2022-)

A quick search can find numerous reddit threads and reviews complaining about this bloatware, as well as articles written by Glance which attempt to subvert you looking for ways to uninstall their crap. Once you disable it from having access to all the lock screen settings (because it can't actually be uninstalled if it came loaded your phone, short of a rootkit) it will use your data to download the latest updates, UNDO ALL THE SETTINGS YOU CHANGED, and then on wake, tell you to Activate Glance. This currently happens on Samsung, Motorola, Oppo, and other mobile phones.
