Samsung has got to stop with their bloatware notifications!

Randi03 — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 14:19:51 GMT

Every single day, or every few hours I get a stupid notification regarding their bloatware. It's either device care letting me know some useless information, or enable "find my phone" or sign in to samsung cloud, or samsung smart things. Seriously, enough is enough. I want control over my notifications. I'm tired of constantly having to swipe these off. What can be done? Some of these apps will not even let you uninstall them or remove their permissions. It's such an infuriating os.

Hey there

If you go to Settings and then Notifications, you can turn notifications off at an app level.

So if you don't want Find my Phone notifications (for example,) then you can turn them off.

Hello, customization service is indeed set to off and if I go to settings, notifications and choose system apps, these particular apps that I have a problem with, don't have a tick next to them. I need to put alerts to silent mode and notification types to "not allowed" , which is a bit more tedious and I am not sure if it will work. I will wait and see. Thank you for your suggestions.

Why don't you just enable what it's asking then? I must have in my settings somewhere and I don't get any notifications at all!

Because I do not want to use samsung cloud services or any other apps they want me to use like find my device etc. I'm perfectly happy with what I have installed. Anyway, so far so good. I have gone into every app's notification settings and modified then to silent and turned all I can off. It's just bothering me that they greyed out the option to turn off all notifications for their proprietary apps and you have to manually access their notification settings and turn all you can to off or silent.

Are you able to find it under apps and uninstall it

Re: Samsung has got to stop with their bloatware notifications!

Randi03 — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 11:30:05 GMT

I can't uninstall it, the option to disable it is greyed out. I checked in my samsung account and it seems that this function was already on but I didn't turn it on. It's weird that it even asked me to do so.

I think I found the solution. DO NOT sign in to the samsung account. Once you do, they won't stop nagging about using their apps.

As you have gone trough a few different settings and the notification bombardment continues, we would recommend sending an error report for this. Our Research and Development team can then dive a little deeper and get this sorted out for you. Recreate the issue > Within 10 minutes, open Samsung Members > Support > Error reports > Write a full description, including the steps you have tried > Down at the bottom, select Attach System Log Data > Send > Set the phone aside while the logs compile for sending. Once analysis is complete, our R&D team will be in touch.

Thank you, if it happens again I'll do it. Since the last time I posted I signed out of the samsung account and I haven't received any more notifications so it seems it has something to do with that.

Nope, Samsung Cloud does not show up anywhere as an app.

I keep getting the same notification from Samsung cloud, but I can't find it anywhere as an app to disable. The notification always says it can't connect with my Microsoft account. What Microsoft account? How can I stop this?
