at least on Android there's no need to completely uninstall it. you can disable the app with force stop; this should allow it to get updates, but shouldn't allow it to run again until you open it manually
I think you're thinking of the _disable_ button on preinstalled apps. this button is only available on preinstalled apps (it switches to an uninstall button for others) however the functionality is still there if you turn on adb. The relevant command is `pm disable --user ## package.name`. You can check your user number with `pm list users`, `dumpsys user|fgrep 'UserInfo{'` or a couple other ways; the package name is in the play store URL.
