Galaxy Wearable
Safe to disable: com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager Safe to disable Vendor documentation
Samsung's companion app for setting up and managing Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds from a phone. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.
What it does
Galaxy Wearable pairs and manages Samsung wearables. For a Galaxy Watch it handles setup, watch faces, apps, notifications and software updates, and for Galaxy Buds it offers sound and touch settings, although newer Buds connect through the phone's Bluetooth settings first. Samsung publishes it on the Play Store and Galaxy Store. It stays running in the background while a watch is connected.
If you disable it
Your Galaxy Watch disconnects from the phone, and Buds lose their advanced settings. If you own no Samsung wearable, nothing changes.
How to disable it
Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > Galaxy Wearable > Disable.
