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.
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.
Oh brother. Here we go again... Another notification to keep my phone safe...
This is all I can do.
