Inactive Samsung Accounts To Be Deleted 31 July 2025 #inactiveaccounts #mobile #samsung #samsungaccount

I found out today that my (previous year) flagship #Samsung android device now requires a Samsung Account in order to keep the many pre-installed Samsung apps updated via the Galaxy Store. I don't need any "benefits" of a Samsung Account and certainly don't need the additional privacy disbenefits and extra (highly privileged) attack surface. I won't be associating a Samsung Account with my device.

Summary of the changes to the Galaxy Store policy are here if you're interested or may be affected by this: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-account-galaxy-store-access-3484730/

This is obviously unnecessary and seems like a really dumb idea from a security / vulnerability perspective.
