Smart Things App (Samsung)

[JRoger]

Hi

I have an A5 (2017) and cant get the Samsung App "Smart Things" to not stop showing up in my notifications etc.

Any ideas on how to make it go away?

TY

Try perusing through your A5's Settings menu. There's a Notifications listing to tweak options for the notifications in general, and probably more specifically if you open up the 'SmartThings' app menu in the Apps menu, that's where there are options that pertain just to that app. You can alter how you want things like notifications and app permissions accordingly.
You might find it useful to just sit down and go through all the options in your phone's Settings menu. It's a good way to get familiar with your phone's particular feature set. Note that there are often a lot of contextual options and sub-menus, and some of them need to be accessed in different ways (... some use a gear icon, some a three dot icon, some a hamburger menu, some Google apps/services now just use your account icon. Android user interface rules are pretty chaotic.) Just be careful not to alter too many things at the same time, or at least document what you change. Sometimes you disable an important or necessary service so you want to be able to just enable it again.
You might also want to look through the User Manual for your model:
