Ahead of the One UI 8.5 expansion, Samsung started working on an Android 17-based One UI 9 update for Galaxy devices. Now, new information reveals that the company is developing a new app, Warranty and Care, in its upcoming One UI 9 update that could make phone repairs and support much easier for Galaxy users.

The app, Warranty and Care, has been recently spotted by Android Authority in an early version of One UI 9. It is designed to bring everything related to device support into one place, from checking your warranty to booking repairs.

It isn’t available in the regular app drawer yet and needs a special launcher to open, which shows it’s still being developed. Early screenshots reveal the main screen shows your phone’s warranty status and has a search bar for troubleshooting problems.

There’s also a shortcut for diagnostics that links to the Samsung Members app. It suggests the new app will work alongside existing tools. Warranty and Care also seems focused on simplifying repairs.

With this app, users might be able to estimate repair costs, book service center appointments, and track repair progress. There are also hints of self-service options, allowing users to run diagnostics, find fixes, or chat with support via chatbots or a remote assistant. Many of these features aren’t functional yet.

Since the app is still in development, the appearance in the final One UI 9 update is not confirmed yet. Even so, Warranty and Care shows Samsung is trying to make device support simpler and more convenient. Stay tuned for more information.
