If you haven’t used your Samsung account in a while, you might want to act fast.
In a rush? Here are the quick facts:
- Samsung will delete inactive accounts on July 31, 2025.
- Accounts unused for 24 months will be deleted.
- Deleted accounts and data cannot be recovered.
Samsung announced through a statement that it will begin deleting inactive accounts starting from July 31, 2025. The policy targets all accounts which remain inactive for 24 months.
This move is part of a new inactive account policy designed to “protect the data of users who haven’t used their Samsung account for an extended period of time,” the company explained in its blog post. Once deleted, both the account and all associated data will be gone permanently, and cannot be restored.
“If you have not used an account for two years now, it would be best to log into it or use a Samsung service or product while logged into the account so that it’s no longer considered inactive,” Samsung warned in its blog post.
The new policy affects every Samsung account, including those used for multiple Galaxy devices. Samsung accounts serve as a requirement to access Galaxy Store features, alongside Samsung Health and Galaxy Wearables.
The majority of Samsung users maintain separate accounts from their Google Account connections, even though some people link their Samsung login to their Google Account.
You can protect your account by simply logging in before July 31. A single login attempt will prevent your account from becoming inactive.
The company plans to send alerts about this change to inactive account holders through email, but this method may not work if your email account is inactive or unmonitored.
Users who have owned Samsung devices in the past, or plan to purchase them in the future, should verify the status of their account security. The July 31 deadline marks the point after which account deletion becomes irreversible.
