body: <p>I've just found an app that allows to disable Samsung apps without root, and in the background:</p>

  <p>And also this free one:</p>

  <ol>
  <li><p>How could this be? It doesn't even show a system-type alertDialog to ask the user if it's ok to disable the app. Did they find a flaw that allows doing so?</p></li>
  <li><p>Is it only for Some Samsung apps? What about other apps and other companies? Is is possible there too?</p></li>
  <li><p>Could the same mechanism be used for other operations? Like enabling apps?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I currently don't have a Samsung device, so I can't even check this app.</p>
