DT Ignite

[MaxxMan_1]

DT Ignite is an abomination.  It IS malware (regardless of denials) and is both annoying and harmful to the phone's performance.  Verizon should be embarrassed to be associated with such & should both cease using it immediately and, provide impacted users a means to remove it from their devices.  I've been a customer over 20 years and I can say with absolute certainty that DT Ignite will not be present on my next device.

  Go into the settings of DT Ignite, clear cache & clear data then click on Force Stop and it will completely disable it.

Perhaps so but not the point.  All users are not tech savvy and many are clueless about managing such things.  Additionally, there are lots of posts from users of some mobile devices who cannot permanently disable the DT Ignite app reporting it will restart with every reboot requiring disabling repeatedly to avoid the nuisance downloads.  If you take a look at the app's permissions you'll find it has unrestricted access to your phone unlike anything I've ever seen.  This is a rogue app and Verizon (along with other carriers installing it) needs to stop, immediately.  Carrier bloat has always been somewhat of a nuisance but at least, was a known entity.  DT Ignite has changed the game in a big way.

This is why we buy Nexus phones, or <insert things that will get me in trouble here>

  I agree it is disturbing and the only thing I was able to do successfully was disable it. However there may be more apps that are even more intrusive.
