Huawei forcibly installed GoPro bloatware on unsuspecting users’ phones.
Huawei has been busted secretly installing bloatware on users’ phones without ever notifying them or asking for their consent. A number of Huawei customers have reported their phones have suddenly been equipped with GoPro’s Quik video editing app, Dutch outlet Android Planet reports.

According to miffed users, Quik showed up on their handsets out of nowhere earlier this week.

A spokesperson for Huawei Netherlands has confirmed the issue to Android Planet, claiming “the installation is the result of an internal error. The company has since apologized for the inconvenience and says its developers are looking into the matter.
