well, forced and unattended security upgrades *of deb packages* are a
ubuntu default since 18.04 ... this has nothing to do with snap
packages at all ...

the UI has no setting to influence any snap behaviour ... snaps are
push driven and will be updated immediately if the maintainer pushed a
new package to the store ... if you did not install any snap packages
there wont any snap packages being updated at all 

... but anyway, if you want to uninstall everything related to snaps
use:

sudo apt purge snapd 

this will uninstall snap support and all snap packages (note, do not
use "apt remove" as that will not remove the snap packages alongside)
