Help Will Samsung apps get updated without Galaxy Apps?

[domoarigato]

Samsung devices include an app called "Galaxy Apps". This app requires Contacts and Phone permissions, which is unacceptable.

Is this app needed for anything?

Will Samsung apps like Camera, S Health, and S Voice get updated if "Galaxy Apps" is disabled,.blocked from internet access, and has it's permissions revoked (which will prevent it from running)?

I think "Galaxy Apps" is the Samsung app store and frameworks that it requires. If you disable and block it, i think it could cause problems for the other Samsung specific apps and services, like failing to update.

galaxy app is nothing to do with other Samsung apps. other apps will work and update without galaxy app.
any app downloaded from galaxy app store can update himself if auto update is on. or you can update that manually.
if you disable Galaxy app from your phone it nothing harm you or to any other app.
and if you disable or block internet connection then only every app including Samsung apps like camera and so on .. not get update automatically it will update when you start internet connection.

I'm a little confused. Are you saying that the Camera app will not get updated if Galaxy App is disabled/blocked?
