Samsung Members app to end support for Android 7 users
No, this isn’t a late April Fool’s prank—Samsung is really shutting down its Members app for older phones. If your Galaxy device is still running Android 7 Nougat, give yourself a pat on the back. You’ve managed to keep it going for over ten years, even without new updates, better hardware, or proper security fixes. But here’s the tough part: Samsung Members is about to wave goodbye.
Samsung has started sending messages to Android 7 users, letting them know the app and its services will stop working on their phones soon. The cutoff date? April 1, 2025. That’s when Samsung Members will officially close for Android 7 Nougat users, according to a post by perfectmongoose on Reddit.
Here’s the funny bit: Samsung suggests updating your phone to a newer system, like Android 8 Oreo, if your device can handle it. But let’s be real—most people in this spot might want to think about getting a new phone instead. A newer device would let you keep using the app and enjoy the cool features of One UI, Samsung’s latest interface.
Truthfully, there probably aren’t many folks still using Android 7 on Galaxy phones. Still, for those who are, this is your heads-up. Come April 1, Samsung Members won’t work on Nougat devices anymore—and no, it’s not a joke. If you’re affected, it might be time to decide: upgrade your software or maybe even your phone. Either way, the clock’s ticking!
