How to turn off Galaxy Stories in Gallery settings?

Skillzo1 — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 01:59:37 GMT

Where is the switch to turn it off in the gallery settings? I have Customization Service turned off.

There should be a "Notifications" toggle directly below Customization Service.

If you have the Customization service for the Gallery turned off, that should be enough to stop it from making stories. I hope this doesn't turn out to be another buggy stuck software switch.

That's too bad. I hope the next update fixes it.

They need to find a way to disable as it had created over 50 stories

Try - Settings->apps

Click the filter to show system apps

Search "galaxy stories" then remove all permissions and disable

I had the same problem. I had the customization service off but it looks like with either a phone or a Gallery app update came with changes to the customization service terms & conditions.

My phone still indicated that the customization service was off but when I tapped it, I didn't see the setting toggle. I had to choose to turn on the customization service so I could agree to the new terms, THEN I got the toggle to turn it off again. I think that should fix it.

S23, "stories" does not show up. I tried all the suggestions above including turning on Customization so I can turn off stories.

The only way I know of is to open „Apps“ in „Settings“ and then enable „Show system apps“.
This is hard to find; you have to click on the icon to the right of „Your apps“ at the top of the list to bring up the „Filter and sort“ panel. Once you have enabled „Show system apps“, you should find „Gallery Stories“ in the list. „Clear cache“ (under Storage), „Force stop“ and „Disable“.

I tried all the suggestions, and stories keep getting created. So I went into the Stories tab of the Gallery>three dots>Hide content>Hide dates then I set the dates from 1 Jan 1900 to 31 Dec 2100. If it can find pictures taken outside of that range then F-it I'll accept those stories.

do you know if this has been fixed? so annoying, as you said

Rsbrux has the answer most people are searching for I believe, except its just the Notification of the System "Gallery Stories" app you need to Block, to stop the popups (I dont really care if the Stories are created, I just dont want the pop ups).

Under: settings>Apps>(the 3 dots) >permission manager > photos and videos>(3 dots again) show system click on gallery stoires and click don't allow. Hopefully this helps I'll update in a couple weeks to see if it works.

Thank you! I had customization off under gallery but would still get these ridiculous "stories" put together. The way Samsung and Google have been going, it's like they don't want anyone to want their products anymore.
