I just wanted to share that you can disable google play store on stock Android and not lose that much functionality, if for any reason you use an app that require Google play store or you want to make a play store purchase, you can enable it again.
I personally disabled it and I get my apps from Aurora Store, ApkPure and Droidify.
It decreased my phone battery usage by a lot and I am less dependent on google overall.
Apkpure isn he opposite of privacy respecting and resell u pirated apps 💀
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.
Depending on the phone model you could wipe your phone and flash a custom ROM, or use universal android debloater. If you decided to use the debloater make sure to back up your important files(I don’t know how does Samsung boot loader deal with debloater and if it would make your phone stay in a booting loop forcing you to boot into recovery mode), what ever you decide to do don’t root your phone.
I don’t know if there is a third way.
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.
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.
I just don’t install it or any google service
Hey can this be done?
Search for this in the settings app
Click here
Click on the 3 points on top of each other:

Search for play store and click it, after that disable it and force stop it.
