After disabling google play services, many apps, when opened, send a notification saying that 'This app won't work without google play services', while they work perfectly. Some apps send the notification every few seconds as well, and they come back after being swiped away. Can someone please tell me how to disable these annoying notifications?

Device: Samsung galaxy a56

Android version: Android 15

Press and hold, tap notification settings, then disable the google services notification category for that app

I can't see the image, but if you are using a Samsung device, you have to re-enable notification categories (because for some reason Samsungs just disable this option and hide away the ability to return it).

It's at the bottom of Settings > Advanced Settings
