Annoyed of the Flipboard Briefing screen on your Galaxy S6 and S6 edge TouchWiz launcher? Well, it cannot be detached from the launcher but we found a quick solution to disable it.

Disabling it will cease its functioning. It’ll still be there on the left-most page on your homescreen but it’ll function-less and so won’t cause any lag either.

  1. Open Settings page on your Galaxy S6.

  4. Open “Briefing” app info page and tap the “DISABLE” button. It may show a warning, select OK. It may also ask to uninstall updates, select uninstall.

Done. Flipboard’s Briefing app is now disabled on your Galaxy S6 and S6 edge TouchWiz launcher.
