Samsung Galaxy Store, Themes to go offline: What it means for users
As the servers of the Galaxy Store and Themes services go down, Galaxy device users won’t be able to access these services on their phones, tablets and the web. Here’s a list of things that users won’t be able to access while the maintenance work is ongoing:

  • Download and update of all apps or content through Galaxy Store/Galaxy Themes will be temporarily suspended.
  • Emergency updates/security updates provided by Samsung Galaxy devices are temporarily suspended.
  • Access is not possible if you move directly from the other apps to GalaxyStore/Galaxy Themes.
  • Galaxy Store that can be accessed from manufacturers other than Samsung is not available either, and download and update of Galaxy Store/Galaxy Themes apps or content are stopped
  • Access to Galaxy Store/Galaxy Themes or use of Galaxy Store/Galaxy Themes servers is temporarily suspended.

Samsung Galaxy Store, Themes maintenance work
As mentioned above, during this time security patch releases will also be temporarily halted. Users won’t be able to download and apply new firmware during this maintenance period. However, Samsung will allow users to download official firmware files from its website if they need to.
Not even app developers will have access to the Store and won’t be able to update their apps. Samsung is expected to bring the Store and Themes services online after a few hours. However, the company hasn’t denied the possibility that the end time may change depending on the progress of the maintenance work.
It is important to note that the maintenance period will affect only the Galaxy App Store and not the company’s Galaxy device e-shop. This means customers will be able to order Samsung products on August 22. But the company won’t allow users to set up their new devices with the latest app updates until the maintenance work is completed.
