Why cant i disable android apps anymore?

[Android Central Question]

So I used to be able to disable nearly all the built in apps, but now, since my latest Android update, I can't disable any app at all pre installed or not, the disable button in grated out on every single one I'm on Xiaomi mi8 lite btw

Welcome to Android Central! In my experience, only certain preinstalled system apps can be disabled -- I've never been able to disable "nearly all" of them. Which apps are you trying to disable?

Remember, Disabling is only for preinstalled apps, not for apps you installed.

I was never able to disable all system or Uninstall them either, thats phones from Samsung/Google/One plus ..maybe if your rooted but that's different story.

Which update did you get? The update may have added restrictions on what can be disabled. Typically most phones prevent a good majority of the preinstalled apps from being disabled, but my experience isn't with that brand.
