Here, i will show you two methods to disable created_at and updated_at timestamps in laravel; as follows:

To disable timestamps by removing $table->timestamps() from your migration file; as follow:

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email')->unique()->nullable();
            $table->string('provider');
            $table->string('provider_id');
            $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
            $table->string('password')->nullable();
            $table->rememberToken()->nullable();
