If your samsung galaxy store app is using or consuming battery on your samsung phone, I recommend you doing these followings;
1. Putting the app to a deep sleep mode
If your samsung galaxy store app is using your phone battery a lot, instead of disabling the app I recommend you to put the app to a deep sleeping apps mode.
I recommend you to put the galaxy store app to a deep sleep on your samsung phone, and I have been using it.
Remember that deep sleeping apps restrict the app from running in a phone background, and even if you open the app in your phone, upon closing the app, it will still go back to a deep sleeping apps mode.
If you put the Samsung Galaxy store to a deep sleeping mode, it won’t run in your phone background if you’re not using the app, and when you’re done using the galaxy store app, it will move back to a deep sleeping apps mode.
This prevents the Galaxy store app from using your samsung phone battery because the galaxy store app is not running in the background.
So if you’re looking how to disable galaxy store because you’re pissed off of your galaxy store app using your battery a lot, instead of going ahead to disable galaxy store app, kindly put the app to a deep sleeping apps mode.

2. Putting the galaxy store to a sleeping apps mode
Another way to limit the galaxy store app from draining your phone battery is by putting the galaxy store to a sleeping apps mode.
This is quite different from the deep sleeping apps mode, but it really works and very good especially if you don’t fancy putting the galaxy store app to a deep sleeping apps mode.
Putting the galaxy store app to a sleeping apps mode will restrict the app from running in your phone background, but immediately you opened the app it will start to run in the background.
This is one major difference between sleeping apps and deep sleeping apps mode on samsung phone.
Apps will start to run in the background immediately you opened the app in sleeping apps mode, but in deep sleeping apps mode, the app will return back to the mode or restricted from running in the background immediately you closed the app.
So in this mode, all you need to do is to put the app to sleeping apps mode immediately you’re done using the galaxy store on your samsung phone. This will prevent the galaxy store from using your phone battery when not in use.
