Short answer

Go to Settings, Apps and tap the app. If the bar at the bottom of App info shows Uninstall, tap it to remove the app. If it shows Disable instead, the app can't be removed: Disable switches it off and hides it. On our Redmi, Mi Store had Uninstall and Chrome had Disable.

For Chrome the middle button was Disable instead of Uninstall. Tap Disable to switch it off and hide it. You can turn it back on from the same page.

If you do not see this option

No Uninstall or Disable? Some system apps show neither. They can't be removed or switched off from App info.
App not in the list? Use Search apps at the top of Apps.

If this does not work

App came back after an update? Updates can turn a disabled app back on. Disable it again.
Only want it quiet? Turn off its notifications on the same App info page. Notifications said No for both apps on ours.
