Booking.com is one which if you delete, comes back as an update. So best to keep it and block it. This was forced on XZ1 COMPACT with the android 9 update - Sony should not be pushing apps you haven't called for. There's a news feed, a weather feed... to name just two more. I've sorted them my own way. It's a shame that Sony, which used to have as close to stock android; is now adding things for financial gain. Booking.com in particular ARE STILL USING SHARP BUSINESS PRACTICES EVEN AFTER BEING WARNED ABOUT IT. SONY SHOULD NOT FAVOUR COMPANY APPS YOU HAVEN'T CHOSEN. 💥
