You can disable separated apps by doing the following sequence:

Go to Settings > Home Screen > Home screen layout.

Tap on Separate apps and toggle the switch to the off position.

How do you disable the app if you don't have a business phone? I can't disable it or delete it on my S24. And it has crazy scary permissions that I can't remove. It looks and acts like malware.

Sounds like a work (enterprise) account on your device. Did you buy your device used?

Nope. It's a personal phone. I bought it brand new at AT&T.

Read the reviews on this app. There are hundreds of people with the same problem, and so far, no response from the devs or Samsung.

@HUHokNahman You must have a work account on your device. This article describes why the Separated folder exists. https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-platform-for-enterprise/migrate-to-android-14/separated-apps....

Read the reviews on the Play Store. Many people had this show up on their personal phones, with no way to disable or delete it.
I've never had a work account, and the behavior of this app seems like malware.
Samsung hasn't bothered to respond to anyone's concerns with this app, which also makes it seem like a virus. There's no reason that they can't give us a way to delete it!
