Exactly! I found the incompatibility annoying when I tried using certain banking apps.
It’s best to disable Knox rather than completely remove it. This way, you can avoid the hassle of troubleshooting afterward.
Totally agree! That’s what I did, and it saved me a lot of headaches.
Sometimes, after disabling Knox, users report issues with the default camera app. Restarting the device usually helps solve that.
