Hi @Robertmac. You're unable to uninstall this app but you can disable it. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Menu (3 dots) > Show System Apps > select the Gear VR app > Force Stop/ Disable. To also disabnle the notifications from the app, go to Settings > Apps > Menu (3 dots) > Notifications > Deselect the required options. Let us know how you get on with this.

Hi Robertmac
To uninstall go into settings > apps > and scroll through the apps list until you see all the apps related to the VR, tap on each one and there will be an option to uninstall.
Hope this helps

This DOES NOT WORK. Samsung s10 plus same problem since update. Never used vr never wanted to. If you follow notification to uninstall it also uninstalls media apps also (fb, messenger, Instagram etc). Gear vr or any oculus apps not shown on app manager as never installed by user ( in other words they are boatware installed by Samsung in update). When eventually found gear vr all options to disable are 'greyed out'. Contacted Samsung Support with no solution given except 'try full factory reset' which also does not work as you cannot revert to previous version once Android 12 is Installed
