Samsung's Inactive Account Purge Warning
Samsung to Eliminate Idle Accounts in July
Gear up, folks! Samsung's giving a heads-up to those who've abandoned their accounts: log in or lose everything.
A recent Samsung advisory, as reported by SamMobile, has stirred up some buzz. According to the notice, Samsung is planning to wipe out inactive accounts this summer, starting in July. Accounts that haven't seen action for two years will be history, as their data gets wiped off Samsung servers, restricting access to the accounts as well.
With your data gone, there's not much reason left to revisit your old account.
If you've got a Samsung account (or maybe two), brace yourself for some emails. Samsung is planning to send notifications to older, unused accounts, to prepare users for the July 31 cutoff. The new policy, which Samsung refers to as its "inactive Samsung account policy", is designed to safeguard user data from accounts that haven't been active for a while. To keep your account alive, make sure you sign in to it before July 31. If you fail to do so, and the last day of July arrives, so does the end of your data.
Time for some action
Better get your accounts sorted out before July 31, as Samsung's red-hot summer of major reveals is just around the corner. Newbies and return Samsung users are eagerly awaiting what Samsung has lined up for this summer during Galaxy Unpacked. We're expecting to see the unveiling of the Samsung's next-gen Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Galaxy Watch 8, and Watch 8 Classic[6]. Details are scant so far, but rumors suggest the event could return to New York this year[7].
Besides the latest phones and wearables, we're also keenly watching out for One UI 8 (Android 16) [8]. Given Google's swift pace, aiming for a Q2 launch of Android 16, Samsung is hot on their heels. In late May, Samsung launched its One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S25 series[8].
