How can disable this, like I don't want them automatically popping up

In Samsung Gallery, tap the three-lines menu in the bottom right corner. When the menu opens, tap Settings. Make sure that Customization Service is turned off.

That's odd. Tap on Customization service and make sure that the toggle at the top of the screen is switched off.

Alternatively, you can go to Settings > General Management > Customization service. Go down the list and make sure that Gallery is turned off.

Turn on customization and then go to customization for apps and go down in the menu to gallery and uncheck that box which will stop the stories from popping up, I hate stories as well.

I wanted to report back that this still doesn't work, even though I followed all the steps. Just last night, a story popped up that was made from pictures of my puppies from three years ago. It was a nice memory, but I still don't want these stupid things made automatically.

Gallery started creating these unwanted stories for me recently, even though I have Customization Service turned off completely. I was reluctant to turn it on in order to turn stories off, and in the process, give my consent to collection and processing of my data, even temporarily.

I tapped the Stories tab at the bottom right of the Gallery home, and then the three vertical dots top right, which produced a pop-up with two options, Create story and Hide content. Under Hide content I chose Hide dates, which says 'Pictures and videos taken on the selected dates won't appear in automatically created stories'. I set start and end dates in 2000 and 2050 as it's a pretty safe bet I won't still be using my A53 in 2050. Hopefully this will work!

That seems to work, at least it took away all the ones it already made; new ones shouldn't pop up. I'm glad someone found a workaround. I hate when companies push stuff on consumers that some of us don't want, then don't give a clear, easy option to turn it off or opt out.

I went to Notifications > Advanced Settings > Notification History > Gallery Stories. Then I turned notifications off from there.
