Samsung is advising users to review their settings and ensure they are logged into specific services. The South Korean tech giant seems to be tidying up and is removing Samsung accounts that have been inactive. This mirrors Google’s approach, which began deleting unused accounts in 2023.
In a communication sent to Galaxy users, Samsung mentioned that it is making “significant changes” and inactive users of certain services risk having their accounts deleted.
The message, received by Mirror Online, expresses gratitude for using Samsung account and informs users about important changes related to their accounts. Samsung is introducing a policy for inactive accounts to safeguard user data. Accounts that remain unused or unlogged into for twenty-four months will be labeled as inactive and may be deleted. Once deleted, access to the account will be restricted, and all associated data will be erased with no option for recovery.
If you come across this message in your inbox, it indicates a prolonged period of inactivity on your account. To prevent permanent closure and data loss, it is crucial to act promptly by logging in.
To prevent account deletion and ensure the proper utilization of Samsung Services, users need to engage in at least one activity every twenty-four months, as per Samsung’s recommendation.
