This article explains the procedure of disabling system apps.

  • Login to AMGuard console with your credentials
  • Click on Policy Groups from left menu and notice list of policies. For the first time, you will see only default policies though.

Note : Apps can be disabled only for Kiosk & Work Managed policy types

  • Go to policy details either by clicking on policy name or edit button as shown in below picture

  • Go to Policy tab > App Management > Disable


  • For the first time, you will not notice any apps in Disable section. You can proceed to add apps from two placeholders
    • Add New
    • Available Apps


Add New

  • Clicking on "Add New" will show a pop-up asking for app details. 

  • Provide App Name and Package ID in respective fields. And click on Add.
  • To depict the scenario, we have added Contacts and My Files application.

Note : You can find App Name and Package ID from Device Details > Application 

  • Once added, the app will be disabled on the device and user will not be able to access the app.


Available Apps

  • Disable apps that are already added to the policy from "Available Apps" section. This section displays custom, playstore and system apps that are added.

  • Select the app, enable disable button and click on Save. For example, lets disable Slack app.



  • Notice Slack app on the device is disabled and when user tries to access the app it shows custom alert message.
