In this guide, we will show you the steps to disable notifications from the Galaxy Store. Samsung devices come preinstalled with their own app store, apart from housing the one that Google already provides, aka the Play Store. Apart from the usual apps and games, the Galaxy Store also provides themes, fonts, and other customization features specifically tailored for your device.
However, it also has an infuriating UX- it will constantly send you notifications about the pending updates for the apps, even if you have installed it from the Play Store! So even though the Galaxy Store cannot update that app, it will still bombard you with alerts for the same.
One perfect example of the same is the Netflix app [see above screenshot]. So, to put an end to this fiasco, your best bet is to disable all the notifications from the Galaxy Store. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
