Disabling apps?

Arihanth — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 01:25:32 GMT

Can anyone tell me how to manually disable apps in Samsung Galaxy S10?

I do not see an option to disable apps under Settings. It just allows to 'force stop' or 'uninstall'.

nope, it doesn't show an option to disable the app. it still shows the app settings where I get to see only uninstall and force stop option.

Bro, it's not possible to disable all applications..you can force stop or uninstall them..

But long press app and select app info..and check app you wanted to disable is showing disable option at bottom or not..

yes, this I observed. it doesn't appear for many apps. I thought I am missing something hence put the question here.
thanks!
