Samsung Cloud now requires at least Android 9

Samsung has recently posted a notice saying that they’re no longer supporting versions below Android 9 (One UI 1.0) when using Samsung Cloud. This is a service that lets you back up and restore data for all your devices signed in to your Samsung account.

While you can still use Samsung Cloud in an antique device running Android 8.0 (Samsung Experience 9.0) or lower, you will experience errors during usage. The company recommends that you perform all available phone updates, including Android upgrades, before being able to fully use the service again.

This aligns with the changed update policy for the Samsung Cloud service, which now requires at least the first version of One UI based on Android 9.0 to run smoothly.

To check for updates on your phone, go to Settings, navigate to Software Update, and tap on Download and Install. If there are updates, perform all available updates to make sure that your phone runs the latest version of Android available for your device. The latest software update that is currently being rolled out to supported devices is One UI 7 based on Android 15.

Android 7 will no longer support Samsung Members

Samsung has recently posted a notice saying that they’re planning to abandon support for Android 7 on Samsung Members. Starting from April 1st, this application now requires at least Android 8 if you want to continue using it. This is coming from a notice posted by Samsung regarding the operation of Samsung Members in Android 7 devices.

Samsung recommends that you update your phone to the latest and the greatest Android version, if possible. This is according to the updated service operation policy that will be in effect starting April 1st, 2025.

Kein #WhatsApp mehr auf einem 10 Jahre alten #iPhone?

Mich würde mal interessieren, wie es bei einem Samsung Galaxy S6 aussieht, das seit 2018 keine Sicherheitsupdates bekommen hat. Wird das S6 bzw. #Android7 noch von Meta bzw. WhatsApp unterstützt? Und kommt mir nicht mit Custom-ROMs, denn wir reden hier von normalen User*innen.

Windows 10/11 Microsoft Photos cannot import gallery from Android 7 (it outputs errors and other uninformative going to no-exit loops messages). The linked tool on Linux works perfectly to import the full data in the Android smartphone.

BTW, for Debian derived distributions, it can be installed through `apt install android-file-transfer`

Wenn du mich ein paar Stunden beschäftigen willst, gib mir einfach ein altes LG G4, für das es in den Untiefen des Internets ein nie offiziell veröffentlichtes Update für Android 7 gibt...

Korrektur: viele Stunden
