I am using a Samsung phone and even with all privileges deactivated it creates "stories". This seems illegal. What is your opinion?

I know I should use a different OS than stock or even another phone brand but this is what I currently have.

You can also try Universal android debloat.

It can disable Gallery, though that has its own issues on Samsung.

    Well, don't. I know that's not immediately helpful, but Samsung is well known for shipping tons of useless bloatware in their Android ROM and not giving a shit about user privacy.
    I think it was their CEO who suggested simply not having sensitive conversations within earshot of their Smart-TVs, when it became known that they're always listening.
