You probably use your phone for a lot of different reasons. You might use it for work, for social media, to stay in touch with friends and family, or even just because you like spending time with it. You probably also use your phone for more than one of those things at once. You might check your email while watching a video or reading an article on the Internet while simultaneously keeping in touch with friends on social media sites. That’s why many phones have options that let you choose what information you would like to share from each app and how you would like to share it. These features are called link sharing settings, and they can be found in almost any Android phone. However, Samsung has its own unique twist on things that may seem a little different than other phones. That’s why we’re going to show you how to turn off link sharing on Samsung phones if that’s something that interests you.
How To Turn Off Link Sharing Samsung?
- On your phone, open the “Settings” app.
- Tap “Applications” and then tap “Application Manager.”
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap “Downloaded Apps.”
- Tap the app that you want to turn off link sharing with, and then tap “Disable Linkage.”
- Tap “OK” to confirm that you want to turn off link sharing for this app and disable any connections it has outside of your phone.
What To Know Before Turning Off Link Sharing On Samsung Phones?
- You will only be able to turn off link sharing for the app that you are currently in. If you want to change the settings for another app, you will have to perform step 4 again.
- Turning off link sharing may affect how you use some apps. For example, if you turn off link sharing for your messaging app, it might no longer update your contacts list with people who send you messages from other apps or from other phones.
- Turning off link sharing does not delete any of the data that is stored on your phone by that app or by any other apps with which it has shared data in the past. It simply stops the app from sending any data out of your phone at all and stops any new data from coming into your phone through that specific app.
- Link sharing can be used for a lot more than just social media sites and email accounts, so if you have concerns about privacy or security on a specific app, we recommend doing research into its features before turning them off entirely via link sharing settings and possibly missing out on something useful that would help keep your information safe and secure while using the Internet on your phone as well as when using other devices such as laptops and tablets.
- If you’re not sure about whether or not you want to turn off link sharing for a specific app, we recommend leaving it alone for the time being. This way, you can still enjoy the benefits of link sharing when you need them and disable it if you ever have concerns about how safe your data is or how much information goes out of your phone without your permission.
Why You Might Want To Turn Off Link Sharing?
- You want to reduce the amount of data that is used by your phone. Link sharing can use a lot of your data, especially if you’re using it for social media sites and email accounts.
- You don’t want to share information with other apps or devices on your phone or on the Internet. If you have concerns about someone else getting access to your information, link sharing is one of the easiest ways for them to get it because any app that is linked with another app can send information out of your phone without you even knowing it.
- You don’t want to share any information at all, including names and other contact details, locations, photos, videos, etc., in case someone accesses your phone and looks at all the data stored on it or tries to remove it from the device entirely.
Why Link Sharing Is Important?
- If you want to use your phone for social media, link sharing is a great way to do it because you won’t have to log in separately for each app and you can find new friends and make new connections without having to spend too much time searching through each app.
- You can get access to information that is posted on other apps by using the links that are shared with you through email or social media, so if someone sends you a link via email or text message, you can click on it from your phone and still get access to the information.
- Link sharing can also be used for apps that don’t have their own messaging features such as social media sites like Twitter and Instagram as well as any other apps that don’t allow communication between users but do allow users to share links with one another.
- If there are any specific apps on your phone that you want to keep private from other people who might have access to it, link sharing is one of the best ways for doing so because anyone who wants access will need more than just your passcode; they will also need permission from the app itself before they can open it up and see what’s inside.
- Link sharing is also useful for sending links to other people on your phone and having them click on them from their phones as well, so if you’re having a conversation with someone else through an app and want to send them a link to something that will give you more information or help you make a decision, link sharing is the easiest way for doing so.
- If you want to share photos with other people who might be using the same app, link sharing can be very useful because it allows you to share photos without having to send each one individually or risk sending too many at once and filling up someone’s inbox.
- If you use your phone for work purposes, like scheduling appointments or keeping track of work-related tasks, link sharing can be very useful for other people in your company who might need access to information that is stored in certain apps on your phone.
- Link sharing can also be used for trying out new apps if there are any that interest you but don’t have their own messaging features because it allows you to get access without having to download anything onto your device and risk losing everything else that is already stored there instead of just trying it out temporarily until you decide whether or not it works well enough for your needs.
- You can also use link sharing if there are any specific companies whose apps interest you but don’t have their own messaging features because they can provide easy access without having to download anything onto your device and risk losing everything else that is already stored there instead of just trying it out temporarily until you decide whether or not it works well enough for your needs.
- Another thing that link sharing can be used for is if you have had an app on your phone for a long time and want to move it to a different section, but don’t want to lose access to all of the information that is already stored in it.
Conclusion
Now that you know what link sharing is and how to turn it off on Samsung phones, you can decide whether that’s something you want to do. If you’re worried about privacy, it can be helpful to turn this off. It’s also a good idea to turn it off if you don’t want to be distracted by constant links. However, it’s important to remember that even when you turn off link sharing, people can still use the links on your device. This can be good or bad depending on who’s using your device and what they’re doing with it.
