Game Launcher & Game Tools

[MrMatthew]

I have a Galaxy S7. I've never played games on my mobile. But I decided to download a few word games. When I opened the game, my Android wanted to update Game Launcher and Game Tools . . . so I did. After looking everything over, I'm able to see the purpose of the launcher and tools, but I believe it drains the battery faster and they really aren't imperative to play the games. Is it necessary to use and have Game Launcher and Game Tools enabled? Am I able to disable those and still play the word games?

I assume these are Samsung things so can't comment - there may be some games that use them, but you can play games on devices which don't have them so for games in general they are not needed.

Since disabling is a reversible operation, why not just try it and see whether the games still work.

Some games will tell you to install this or that, they are really advertisements from the game you've just installed.
You need to install an ad blocker from the play store, such as Adguard, Blockada or NetGuard, that can disable ads.
Uninstall game launcher and game tools, just garbage, really...

yeah well the only problem it is a part of samsung's one ui. it can't be deleted. i think the game launcher yiu can disable and the game tools you can only force stop......at least oin my note 8.

i have not seen any reason to delete those. i have no issues with them or have seen any batterty drain because of those two apps.

Hello. I think the best decision is to ask that question on samsung thread or their support. You will get more information there than here. Hope this will help you.
