Background activity

Is there any way to disable background activity for apps on the Watch 4 Classic? I'm sure I've done it before, but it's not selectable now.

Certain apps like Galaxy Wearable Music can be stopped. Samsung Health cannot be stopped.

Not what I meant. Under Apps settings there's an option to allow or disallow background activity but it's not selectable.

Ah oK, for some system installed/default apps, that setting is not enabled for some unknown reasons, nor can they be disabled.

Only thing that we can do is to take away all the permissions (where possible) for such apps.

No, not some apps - ALL of them.

With the last update Samsung well Google gave us more control, so now it has to be done one by one.

My whole point is it CAN'T be done. The background activity switch is not operational for any of the apps.
