Help How to avoid push notifications for SAMSUNG FindMyMobile?

Hi to the community
:)

How to avoid push notifications for the SAMSUNG FindMyMobile app?
In push notifications settings the section where I normally switch from enable to disable is grey, will say I'm not able to change something.

I don't want to get any push notification on my mobile, if use the FindMyMobile web page for blocking, find location, save and so on...

Any workaround for this ?
Thnaks in advance, guys

Well if you could disable it you also wouldn't be able to use it to locate the phone.

Ironically that still might not stop notifications: some of the people who received the mysterious notification from Samsung last week actually had the app disabled (which suggests that Samsung can remotely override your preference there).

Actually I'm pretty sure that notifications for location attempts are a security measure. You may think that if the phone is missing you don't want anyone who may have it to know that you are locating it, but the flip side is that if there is no notification the feature can be abused to track people without their knowledge or consent (e.g. by a controlling and abusive partner or ex).
 
Hi Hadron,
thanks for your statement. Makes sense, although I gladly want to decide for myself how to configure my device.
But it is, how it is and I'm wiser ;)
