  1. I Am using redmi note 6 pro.

    Created shortcut on home,
    Opened shortcut
    Selected app to disabled
    But not found any option to disable

  2. You don't even need to install an app to achive this if you have Google Play Store installed:
    Go to Play Store, go to help, start typing "disable app" and open the article "Delete or disable apps on Android" and in the section "Delete apps that you installed" the first option that says "Tap to go to Application settings" is a link to the same activity that's been described here in the article. Enjoy!
