A32 | Is com.samsung.android.app.spage safe to delete?

[CharGolden]

Basically all im trying to do is delete Samsung News because i dont want it, but through some research, i figured out it might be part of this spage package.

Is it safe to entirely delete on a Samsung A32, is Samsung News even actually part of "spage" or is it a different obscured package name? What would happen if i DID delete this package via ADB

I don't have smart home devices, nor do i plan on using Samsung Pay if it is an option.

And as far as im aware, this phone does not have Bixby support

Removing system apps may cause problems, though I’m guessing - no more than that - that it would be unlikely to do so in this case. Do you not have the option to Disable?

Nope, i go into Samsung News, and it is greyed out.
Which is why i looked into ADB for deleting it manually.

Don't delete any system apps, EVER. Get Shizuku and either IceBox or Hail and freeze it. Form disables the package. Should something go catastrophically wrong, especially with Samsungs limited options, you can at least boot into safe mode and without Shizuku re-enable it right in the App Info.

Don't use Samsung News if you don't want it. It doesn't run if you don't use it.

Are you running low on storage space? I doubt you'll get much space back from that one app.

This seems like the better option for what im trying to do,

getting it off of the apps drawer

I would plus you can see what other Shizuku apps there are. It won't void your warranty, won't trip Knox or Safteynet and is reversed as easily as uninstalling the app.

The only thing it can't to is start itself after a reboot without root, so you'll need to do the very very minimal and easy pairing again, which is done on the phone.

I am inclined to agree. Who knows how other apps are tied together
