The Korean giant is having a big clear out of its Galaxy user accounts this summer.
accounts are used to access apps on Galaxy devices.
The and all of Samsung’s native apps, like Health and Galaxy Wearables, require an account to log in.
This can be tied to a Account, which will not be affected by the shut down.
However, they are often separate.
If you haven’t signed into your Samsung account in the past two years, the phone maker with deem it inactive.
The company will delete inactive accounts on 31 July.
For people who use their Samsung devices regularly, this shouldn’t be a worry.
It is difficult to operate a Samsung device without logging into your account.
However, if you switched from Samsung to another mobile brand, you might want still want to keep your account in case you switch back.
Alternatively, if you have a secondary account that you don’t want to lose, then it’s important to act now.
If you’ve logged into your account at least once in the last 24 months, there should be no risk of removal.
But it is a good idea to check and make sure your account doesn’t get culled.
Any accounts that are deemed inactive will be deleted, and it will be impossible to retrieve them.
Save your Samsung account
Simply log into your Samsung account before 31 July.
This will mark the account as active to Samsung, and spare it from deletion.
Galaxy users who haven’t logged in for a while should receive an email from Samsung notifying them of the change.
Though, as 9to5Google notes, that may prove ineffective if the email associated with the account is also inactive.
