Why Might You Want This App?
If you use several Samsung apps, you might be happy to know that Samsung Push Service gives you push notifications for all of them. When an app in the Samsung family has new information, you’ll see it through the Samsung Push Service. As a result, this app can be an easy way to stay in the loop about all things Samsung.
What Are Push Messages?
A push message is a notification that pops up on your screen even when you’re not using an app. Samsung push messages come up on your device in several ways. They display in your phone’s notification bar, show application icons at the top of the screen, and generate text-based notification messages.
How Do I Access Samsung Push Service?
To specify the kinds of notifications you see, go to Settings > Apps > Samsung Push Service. If you don’t see it in your app list, tap the three-dots > Show system apps, then scroll down and tap Samsung Push Service. From there, you can adjust the app’s Notifications and Permission settings.
Potential Downsides of Using Samsung Push Service
If you’re thinking about buying a new phone, you’ll want to know that Samsung is the brand behind some of this year’s most anticipated phones. However, some people aren’t happy the Push Service app is factory-installed on many of them. Unnecessary apps are particularly frustrating when phones lack internal space, making users do everything they can to delete items they don’t need. There are also reports that the Samsung Push Service sends advertisements to the gadgets, but there’s nothing in the official description of the app that presents ads as a possibility. Avast included it in a 2017 report about Android phone apps and mentioned explicitly that Samsung Push Service depletes resources by draining the battery. Users also say they continuously get notifications to update the app, and that those reminders annoy them.
How to Disable Samsung Push Service
To disable Samsung Push Service, go to Settings > Apps > Samsung Push Service > Notifications and tap the Show notifications switch to turn all notifications Off.
Disable Mobile Data Usage for Samsung Push Service
If you solely use the internet on your phone by relying on its data instead of a Wi-Fi connection, you can disable Samsung Push Service so that it won’t run unless you’re on Wi-Fi.
A Tip for Disabling Samsung Push Service
If you’re sure you want to do away with Samsung Push Service for good, you should know that deleting it will require downloading a third-party app. Samsung Push Service is bundled within the Samsung Apps application. So, if your phone asks you to update Samsung Apps, it’ll reinstall Samsung Push Service without your knowledge. Then, you’ll need to go through the steps above again.
