Continuity Service
Safe to disable: com.samsung.android.mcfds Safe to disable Vendor documentation
Samsung's cross-device service for calls and texts on other devices and continuing apps on a tablet or PC. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.
What it does
Continuity Service links Galaxy devices signed in to the same Samsung account. It powers Call and text on other devices, which lets a tablet or Galaxy Book make calls and send texts through your phone, and Continue apps on other devices, which picks up Samsung Browser or Samsung Notes where you left off. It runs in the background when those features are on.
If you disable it
Calls and texts on your other Galaxy devices and continuing apps across devices stop. A single phone works normally.
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.
