Samsung Visit In

A Samsung location service that detects when you enter places such as stores to trigger place-based content. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

Samsung Visit In uses geofences and indoor positioning signals to notice when the phone enters or leaves a place, so Samsung services can show content or notifications tied to that place. It has no screen and runs in the background when a location-based Samsung feature uses it. Samsung's application lists include it on Galaxy phones from Android 10, and device surveys show it on current models.

Also shown as IpsGeofence.

If you disable it

Place-based suggestions and notifications from Samsung services may stop. Maps and location in general are not affected.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.ipsgeofence

adb shell pm enable com.samsung.android.ipsgeofence

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.ipsgeofence

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.ipsgeofence

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
