Samsung's sharing service for shared albums, family groups and shared content between Samsung accounts. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

Group Sharing, earlier called Samsung Experience Service, lets Samsung apps share content with other Samsung account holders. Shared albums in Gallery, shared calendars and notes, and family group features use it to invite people and keep shared items in sync. It runs in the background while any shared space is set up. Samsung lists it in the Galaxy Store under the Group Sharing name.

Also shown as Samsung Experience Service.

If you disable it

Shared albums, family groups and other shared spaces in Samsung apps stop syncing, and some Samsung account features that rely on it may fail.

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.

Disable it (reversible)

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

Turn it back on

adb shell pm enable com.samsung.android.mobileservice

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.

Uninstall for the main user

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

Restore after an uninstall

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

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