I WANT to disable the Samsung store but that can’t be done in options. I’ll have to figure out how to brute force it.

Bookmarked to look at the other store options.

You can do it via ADB. If you like you can try out Hail, Canta or universal Debloater.

Not 100% sure on Samsung specific apps but, UAD makes life easier when trying to debloat Android phones.

I’m not directly affiliated with the development, I just thinks a cool tool. The more people using / contributing the better it will get.

You can disable or uninstall Samsung bloatware apps using ADB. On Github u can find a list of apps that are safe to disable or even uninstall.

what ever you decide to do don’t root your phone.

Why??? Rooting android phone gives you complete control of your phone. You can install Xposed modules and you can control your phone whatever you like.

However rooting is also big security risk and most of the phone models dont support rooting. Cant say much here because I’ve never done that.
