Disable transferred apps.

I've just purchased a new phone. HTC u11 life. Running Android One. I used Google backup to transfer my apps and settings from my old phone. Which worked well. But to my profound disbelief. I now realise that I am unable to disable the apps that I transferred. Even if I uninstall and reinstall them. If I'm unable to disable my apps, then I'll permanently uninstall some of them. Such as Facebook Messenger.
