  1. Android 8 will no longer support Samsung Members

    Samsung has recently posted a notice saying that they’re planning to abandon support for Android 8 on Samsung Members. Starting from July 1st, this application now requires at least Android 9 (One UI 1.x) if you want to continue using it. This is coming from a notice posted by Samsung regarding the operation of Samsung Members in Android 8 devices.

    Samsung recommends that you update your phone to the latest and the greatest Android version, if possible. This is according to the updated service operation policy that will be in effect starting July 1st, 2025.

  2. Samsung Cloud now requires at least Android 9

    Samsung has recently posted a notice saying that they’re no longer supporting versions below Android 9 (One UI 1.0) when using Samsung Cloud. This is a service that lets you back up and restore data for all your devices signed in to your Samsung account.

    While you can still use Samsung Cloud in an antique device running Android 8.0 (Samsung Experience 9.0) or lower, you will experience errors during usage. The company recommends that you perform all available phone updates, including Android upgrades, before being able to fully use the service again.

    This aligns with the changed update policy for the Samsung Cloud service, which now requires at least the first version of One UI based on Android 9.0 to run smoothly.

    To check for updates on your phone, go to Settings, navigate to Software Update, and tap on Download and Install. If there are updates, perform all available updates to make sure that your phone runs the latest version of Android available for your device. The latest software update that is currently being rolled out to supported devices is One UI 7 based on Android 15.

  3. #Android 7's cat-collecting Easter Egg is objectively better than the Android 11 one and I wish that's what they did rather than what it ended up as. I like feeding #cats and seeing the plate be empty. Thus, I only like Android 7 and (with a dark theme via Substratum [remember that?]) Android 8. Ran both of them on my Nokia 6, but I liked 7 more because it had cats.
