Every time I play a game app on my S10 phone, a notification appears in the notification area from Game Booster. If I press on it, there's no option to disable it. If I choose 'notification settings' I'm told that it was Game Booster that showed the notification but any attempt to disable it from showing notifications is not allowed. The enable/disable slider/button is deactivated. Why am I not allowed to stop this thing (whatever it is) from spamming me with notifications that I'm not interested in? That's the behaviour of malware rather than something useful.
I just want it to stop.
I've googled this a bit and some people suggest disabling the 'game launcher' but that makes no difference. I suspect that's a different thing.
I understand that Samsung think they want to help us with the software they pre-install, but everything should be able to be turned off if the user wants. Microsoft was forced to do it on Windows. Apple are being pressured. Do we need to start a movement to get the EU to ban Samsung from forcing us to use things we don't want to also?
I fully expect this to get no official Samsung staff member to comment on this.
@rosco331: It should be possible to disable notifications for Game Launcher and Game Booster by opening Game Launcher > Tap the 3 lines in the bottom right > Settings > Notifications > Show notifications > Toggle this option off.
Navigate back to the Game Launcher landing page > Tap the 3 lines in the bottom right > Game Booster > Block during game > Notifications (toggle this on).
Game Launcher is an embedded app, and cannot be removed from your device completely, however it is possible to disable it by heading to Settings > Apps > Game Launcher > Disable (located at the bottom of the screen).
