I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and when I upgraded from Android 9 to Android 10, Samsung Internet browser was installed. When I was on version 9, I was able to install or uninstall the app at will. Now I cannot uninstall the app... just hide it.
I also have Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. I also upgraded from Android 9 to Android 10. On my tablet, I'm still able to install or uninstall Samsung Browser.
Why I cannot do the same on my phone. To hide is not the same as uninstall. May I have the control over «MY» device ???
first click and hold the icon program second click on the infos third, unstall the updates fourt click on Force Stop the application you can uninstall it except with adb commands i think, @CHMultimedia could help you for this part
Thanks for your answer.... But I will avoid such action on my phone. Samsung Knox will see this as a comprised action and no update will be possible easily after.... and NFC payment might also be broken after.
I was surprised to find that the Tab A with Android 10 allowed for some Samsung apps to be uninstalled. This has not been the case with their phones. As to why it cannot be done on the phones is one of those bizarre things Samsung does.
As of now that option is not available and Samsung will post the information about the availability of this option in near future and we suggest you keep the device up to date.
I hope Samsung will let us manage our own device the way we want to handle it «very» soon.... Forcing people to use an unwanted app, it's not the way to go. Samsung Internet on my phone can't even be desactivated... I can hide it.... but this is not what I want.
Hi Jeff, Pre-installed apps cannot be uninstalled or disabled. This is because they are essential for Android to run your device properly. However, we take it as your feedback. Your feedback is valuable to us and we greatly appreciate you taking the time to give us your valuable thoughts.
This statement is factually false. I disable many applications that normally can't be disabled and Android runs just fine.
There is no need for Samsung to install applications such as it's browser or email program and not let users be able to remove them. It's not technical - it's marketing.
So please stop with the koolaid and marketing mumbo jumbo when replying to technical issues.
