Option 1 – From Settings

From the Home screen, select “Apps” > “Settings” > “Applications” > “Application manager“.
Select the app you wish to remove.
Tap “Uninstall” or “Disable“.

Option 2 – From Apps Menu

Open the “Apps” slider.
Tap and hold the icon for the app you wish to uninstall.
Select “Uninstall” or “Disable“.

Note: The “Disable” option does not actually uninstall the app, but it prevents it from running and removes it from your Apps menu. Pre-installed apps will only show the “Disable” option and cannot be completely removed. You will only have the option to turn it off or uninstall updates.

FAQ

Repeat the steps 1 to 3 in Option 1, then swipe over to the “Disabled” section. Select the app, then choose “Turn on“.

This tutorial applies to the Samsung Galaxy S8+ models SM-G955 and SM-G950.

Comments

Yes, thank you so much. I used the app list to remove them.

I downloaded Instagram to my S8 and when I went to uninstall it because of its pre acceptance terms it didn’t uninstall. I could only hot the disable option. Ir’s like a sucker fish. It also showed up on other apps?
