You’re exposing yourself to unpatched vulnerabilities for convenience instead of updating or deleting the app. If you lose half the functionality because of an update it’s time to find a new app in my books.
You’ve done a threat and risk assessment and decided that the inconvenience of uninstalling or disabling the app is with accepting the risk of your device being competing and your data stolen or ransomed, your banking or other credentials being stolen, your friends, family, and other contacts being targeted, and your employer being put at risk if you use your device for work. That’s an acceptable way of handling the situation. You can always accept the risk.
I’ve heard this sentiment for almost 20 years. “The app works fine, why update, it only breaks things.”
Then they blame me when it starts being incompatible with the current OS or some other application. Even if the only fix is to update they still resist or refuse outright.
That’s my expert opinion. Take it or leave it. It’s your device.
In this day and age where updating an app means losing half the functionality, no thanks. Would love a way around that though!

If only that were an option…
