You can easily disable an app on your Android device without deleting it by following these simple steps:
- Open Settings: Find and tap the "Settings" app on your device.
- Navigate to Apps: Look for the "Apps & notifications" or "Apps" section within the settings menu.
- Select the App: Scroll through the list of installed apps and locate the one you want to disable. Tap on it to open its information page.
- Disable the App: On the app's information page, you'll find a button labeled "Disable" or "Force Stop." Tap on it to disable the app.
- Confirm Disabling: A confirmation prompt may appear. Tap "OK" to proceed with disabling the app.
Once disabled, the app's icon will be grayed out, indicating it's inactive. You can re-enable the app at any time by following the same steps and tapping "Enable" instead of "Disable."
Remember, disabling an app only stops it from running and accessing your device's resources. Your data and settings associated with the app are preserved, and you can re-enable it whenever you need.
