Over the years we have seen the smartphone sector evolve more and more, both in terms of hardware and software with Android which has offered more and more possibilities. These are then further enriched by the customizations made by individual manufacturers to their devices.

Before going to see how to disable upday it is good to understand exactly what it is.
Upday is a news and content aggregator that we usually find pre-installed on Samsung devices. Basically it is about a kind of Google Newswith a news feed that is served based on the user profilebased on the interests and browsing history of the specific user.
From this we understand that such a service could not prove to be useful for everyoneor even reveal themselves invasive with periodic notifications, unsolicited battery and resource consumption.
