T-Mobile AppSelector Notification

[BerryBubbles]

Hello to all. I received this T-Mobile notification today. Usually, I am more resourceful, but I have a family member on a ventilator fighting for his life from the covid-19 & his wife is sick quarantined at home alone. I'm stressed & as I am trying to find what this is, all my mind is retaining is 'blah blah blah...blah blah. It looks like possibly a walk through, but I don't want to accidentally install more bloat by opening it up.

I received the android 10 update 2 weeks back & the March security patch 2 days ago. In all my many years of T-Mobile I've never had this pop up. Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks for you time.

T-Mobile Locked s9+.

Did you see this? The steps to remove the notification should be pretty straightforward. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/t-mobile-appselector

So sorry to hear about your family member's health battle. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

1st of all, Thank You for warm wishes. It's truly appreciated.

2nd, Thanks for the link. That answered my questions. No blah blah blah this time.

I'll just uninstall Appselector.
I noticed yesterday that Appselector needed an update & thought where did that come from?
I was too tired to worry about it, but that bright magenta notification that arrived this morning was harder to ignore.

Bless you, Thanks again.

I've had T-mobile Samsungs since the Galaxy s5, coming from the Blackberry world, and yes this is a first.

My initial thought it was a marketing deal, but I wasn't sure. I didn't click on the notification as I was afraid that I'd see the words 'Download Started'. ( Big Chicken ) That large arrow on the right side of the notification made me nervous. So I came here to the best Android forum in the world for help.

Thank You.

Thank you for your warm wishes of blessing & I return them to You, B. Diddy, and all the other wonderful members of Android Central!!

As I proceeded to delete the T-Mobile notification, I found a drop down on the notification & it revealed a message that stated, 'Complete your update. Click here.'
I was attempting to take a screenshot, but another notification came in and snapped the drop down shut. I tried to reopen the drop down, but it launched the browser to a blazing bright magenta T-Mobile page with a overlay error message that said 'Opps, something went wrong, try again later.' (Seems like I made this quite difficult.) Now we know the end result of the notification. On to the uninstallation.

Thanks again... Stress level has dropped a notch!
