Samsung Galaxy App

Hi android forum team, i just wanna ask about this pre-installed "samsung galaxy app" it keeps updating and it has no auto-update off button, is it ok to uninstall it via titanium backup free version? No side effect on your samsung phone or whatsoever? Thanks in Advance

Re: Samsung Galaxy App

Hello! I believe that is Samsung's own App Store. Not sure if it is a good idea to delete. Some of the phone's core functions are updated through this App Store.

Re: Samsung Galaxy App

Yes it's a Samsung exclusive app store and some of the Samsung apps update via the Galaxy app store. You can disable it with no ill effect to your device. Be advised tho, some apps will not get updates due to this. Also any additional camera modes will not be able to be downloaded with it disabled. Same goes for the "edit" option in the gallery to edit photos.
