You can set Android’s Do Not Disturb mode to only allow calls from your “starred” contacts. After all, what if your spouse is trying to reach you-or your irate supervisor, for that matter? Ben Patterson / IDG Sure, activating Do Not Disturb mode for iOS (tap Settings > Do Not Disturb, or tap the Do Not Disturb button from the swipe-up Command Center pane) or Android (flick down with two fingertips to reveal Quick Settings, then tap the Do Not Disturb button) is a great way to keep your phone from buzzing during lunch, but you may still find yourself tempted to check your messages. If you ever miss this app, you can always download it again from the Google Play Store.Let Do Not Disturb mode screen your calls (Android and iOS) This app, while bloatware from Samsung, can be deleted unlike other apps like the S Secure or Samsung Pay mini which require a rooted device in order to be removed. Tap the My Galaxy app and you will see an option to uninstall it. Here look for a list of all installed apps. Open the Settings app and go to the Apps group of settings. If you do not see a delete option when you tap and hold on the app, you may need to delete it from the Settings app. Tap and hold it, and when the option appears, delete the app. Go to your app drawer and look for an app called My Galaxy. What you need to do instead is delete the app. You can disable notifications for this app under Settings>Apps (setting location my differ based on device and Android version), but that won’t turn the My Galaxy Widget notifications off. The app generating this notification is called My Galaxy and you can find it in your app drawer. The My Galaxy Widget shows all kinds of information, information you normally wouldn’t want Samsung to aggregate for you.ĭisabling My Galaxy Widget notifications on a Samsung phone isn’t the simple process it should be. One such app generates constant notifications asking you enable the widget for it. It’s fine if you want to use them but the manufacturer assumes you do and likes to push them on to users. The average low to mid-range Samsung device comes with a Samsung app to match almost every single Google app that Android ships with. Samsung does not kid around with bloatware.
