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.

I don't see how Amazon being on a right click menu would be reliant on an OS update

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?

Thanks for the response. I would just like to say even if an update did do that, that still doesn't have anything to do with how to remove it... When I posted this, I was hoping there was just some setting I was missing.
