- Proceed to the Application Manager or Application page. Search for the particular app you wish to disable under the “All” section and tap on the app.
- As it opens, you fill find two buttons with the DISABLE button as one of them. Tap on the Disable button and a confirmation message will pop-up.

Deleted user apps might change the performance of your device. Unless you know what you’re doing, you are advised not to delete any user app.)
