Samsung phones are special for many reasons, and one of them is that they are one of the few that come with a standalone app store. In addition to the Play Store, which already comes with most Android phones, Samsung also offers the Galaxy Shop; However, the rules of use will now change.
The Galaxy Store is very useful, or rather essential, if you have a Galaxy mobile. In fact, the Samsung applications pre-installed in the mobile memory are not updated via the Play Store, but via the Galaxy Store. In addition, Samsung distributes all its new applications through its store, and at the time it was one of the few options to install Fortnite on Android without complications.
Now, Samsung is going to implement a change in the Galaxy Store, which could prevent us from updating our mobile applications. Concretely, Samsung is going to make it mandatory create an account to use the store. Until now, the Galaxy Store could be used without creating an account; although the app recommends it, it is possible to skip the process and continue using the store without registering. However, this “trick” only worked for 14 days.
As they discovered in Sammy’s fansfrom September 25, 2024, it will be required to create an account from Samsung to be able to use the Galaxy Store; we will not have time to use the store without an account. In other words, we will need this account to be able to update the applications pre-installed on the mobile, as well as the applications that we want and that are only in this store.
The change has not yet been officially announced by Samsung. Instead, the company is inform users directly who use the Galaxy Store without an account, they will soon no longer be able to do so.
📢 Act fast: the Galaxy Store will stop working if… 🧨
Samsung today issued a new notice, showing the requirement of a signed-in Samsung account to use the Galaxy Store.

The good news is that Samsung accounts they are free; You just have to carry out a short process to create it, and we do not need to associate any payment method to be able to use it. The Galaxy Store itself will allow us to create a Samsung account directly through the mobile phone, although another option is to access the Samsung page and click on “Create an account”. In addition, it is very likely that you already have a Samsung account if you have purchased a mobile phone or other product of the brand.
In addition to the Galaxy Store, having a Samsung account allows us to access functions such as finding our lost phone or synchronizing our preferences and data between all our devices.
