Google’s Play Store and Samsung’s Galaxy Store are the two app markets available on Galaxy devices. In particular, the Samsung Galaxy Store app is getting a major shift this month, imposing a basic yet headache-inducing requirement.

According to the info, Galaxy Store may stop letting users download apps if the Samsung Account is not logged in. All kinds of users with Samsung devices are affected by this privacy shift, mandating Samsung Account.

As of now, there’s no need for a Samsung Account to use Galaxy Store. However, that leverage is now going to be wiped out. The warning to add a Samsung Account will no longer let you skip the setup for a certain period.

Before the deployment, Galaxy Store published an in-app notice. The notice states that users will no longer be able to run Galaxy Store if they do not log in to their Samsung Account on the Galaxy device (phone, foldable, or tablet).

Blockage to Galaxy Store will result in no installation or updates of apps. Google’s Play Store is always available, but it also activates upon Gmail account login.

Samsung is mandating a similar level of requirement. Galaxy Store is stepping up the game and imposing an account login necessity just like Google does.

The notice has been issued across a range of Samsung devices. It has been pushed to almost every user, regardless of the smartphone’s operating system.
