How To Disable Samsung Free? 

You cannot uninstall the Samsung Free app, but you can disable it. This article shows you how to disable the Samsung Free app.

What Is Samsung Free?

Samsung Free is a content service that lets Samsung users access free news, music, and other media all in one app. It is an updated version of the older Samsung Daily service.

When new Samsung phones come with Android 11 and One UI 3.0, Samsung Free is pre-installed on them. This app appeared without warning, so many users want to remove it. They may find it annoying or unnecessary, and it takes up space on their phones.

Removing Samsung Free can make the phone look cleaner and easier to use. Users who don't want this app may prefer other news or music services. Samsung Free is not an essential app, so taking it off will not harm the phone.

Disabling or removing Samsung Free can free up some memory and reduce clutter on the home screen. It also helps in speeding up the phone by removing unwanted services running in the background. Users can customize their phones more by choosing what they want to see.

To disable Samsung Free, users can go to the settings menu and find the app. There, they can turn it off or uninstall it.

It's a simple process and can make using the phone more enjoyable. Many users have already done this and find their phones easier to navigate without Samsung Free.
