Quick share

[SamSungtwo]

Why can I not disable quick share or remove any permissions ? I do not use this app.

If you do not use this app, then just leave it alone. It will not cause any problems as it is an operating system app. You can do a Force stop, but that may cause errors. Quick share is a system app where you can share files between any nearby devices under the names of your saved contacts making the transfer of pictures, videos and other files easier. Make sure the recipient receiving the files has Quick share turned on.

This is a communications app. I do not use or want. A force stop only stops the app temporarily until a restart or the app asks to reactivate.

If you really want to disable it, then use either adb or a package disabler. 

Read the ⚠️ about disabling System Apps. 

I have disabled some, but I know what I'm doing.

Adb does not remove apps. It only hides apps from the app draw. If an update is received for the app or is reactivated it becomes active.

The only way to remove a System App is with Root. 

An app that is disabled with adb, or a package disabler, is not visible to the system, it will not receive any updates. It is not the same as disabling an from Settings.

The only way an app disabled by adb or a package disabler, is to Factory Reset, use adb to re-enable the app, or use the package disabler to re-enable the app.

Hi, Quick share is an embedded part of the sharing menu, and cannot be removed.

You could try heading to Settings > Apps > Tap the 3 lines to the right of 'Your apps' > Show System Apps > OK > Quick Share, and deny all permissions for the feature to see if this helps. 

[SamSungtwo]

Deny permissions are greeted out so I cannot deny the permission.

I also noticed that the app is not auto disabled since I do not use it.
