All of a sudden, Amazon search has popped up on the right click contextual menu for me. Haven’t seen it before today. I can’t find a way to remove it either; I’d prefer not to be reminded every time I try to copy something that I can buy Travis County district court on Amazon. I use the app a lot because of Amazon lockers as well as shopping at an Amazon fresh store. So deleting it (which would presumably remove it) really isn’t a great choice for me.

Anyone else encountering this? Any solutions? Thanks for any help.

EDIT: After some great comments, I decided to reininstall/reboot and that seemed to have gotten rid of it. TBD if it comes back though. Would still like to know if it’s possible to adjust that menu. Some apps I use are hidden behind the overflow menu, which would be cool if I could reorganize. Thanks!

SUPA EDIT: Did some more sleuthing and may have found an answer. As I commented here, try putting your app in deep sleep. While it kills all background activity, I think it also stops apps from displaying the problem app’s menu button.

    Always love an adversarial tone when I ask for help. Android 13 on fold 5, every app, answered the other questions already.

      The information he asked for is pretty important to helping you solve your problem. It’s a little annoying to see someone asking for support but not really putting effort into helping others help you.

        Thanks, yes I know that tone sucks but really how should anyone help with that lack of any infos?

          I mean the question posed I figured you could glean enough that more info would be redundant. I don’t see how Amazon being on a right click menu would be reliant on an OS update. As for what apps it was in, again, I figured since I asked for the right click menu, it would be apparent that every right click menu was showing that, since all apps have that same menu. And the other two questions I had answered already.

          As someone who works in tech support I understand the pain of dealing with uninformed users. I figured though if someone asked a technical question on a site as obscure as Lemmy, on an android forum, that would give some credit to the fact that I’m not just some schmuck with a Galaxy a54. Instead I was getting comments on why I use Amazon. I mean come on lol, not everyone is living a foss/privacy guaranteed life.

            No, but an OS update could introduce the framework to allow apps like Amazon to insert a search option

            the fact that I’m not just some schmuck with a Galaxy a54

            Then why are you acting like one?

        I mean I figured it out in the end, but I didn’t know if there was a setting somewhere that controlled what went in that menu. Still can’t find an answer to that.
