How to uninstall Samsung Wallet on the Galaxy Watch 6?

[ShotRock]

I can not for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the wallet on my watch. I've researched and found out that I can not install it. Okay. But, it's draining my battery and that's without the setup! 

I did do the wallet setup to stop this. But it only made the battery drain worse! And movement brings up the wallet and wants me to pay for something! Even went to my cell carrier for help and they couldn't. Did a factory reset, and that didn't work! 

It's driving me nuts and about to ask for a refund!

Nope. The issue is Samsung Wallet. Not other apps.

Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand not wanting to have Samsung Wallet on your watch. Uninstalling Samsung Pay isn't an option on the Galaxy Watch models. You can Force Stop and Disable the app in Watch Settings, but you can't remove it. 

This article provides the available steps for managing apps on your Samsung Watch. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00061436/

Unfortunately, preinstalled apps cannot be deleted. For the Watch4 and Watch5 models, these apps can only be disabled.

To disable an app, open the Wearables app on the phone and navigate to the Watch Settings.

Scroll down Apps. From here, select the app you wish to disable. Select Force Stop, then Select Disable.

To remove Samsung Pay from the Button, please follow these steps:

1. Open the Wearables app on the phone

2. Open Settings, scroll down and select Advanced Features

3. Select Double Press to assign another app to the Button

4. Select Press and Hold to select to either Power off menu or Assistant
