Samsung News will shut down on December 21, 2026

Samsung will shut down Samsung News on December 21, 2026, ending the service on Galaxy phones and tablets.

Launched in 2023, it provides news, sports scores and stock updates through an app, a widget and a home-screen panel.

Samsung’s notice appeared in India and South Korea; it has not confirmed the shutdown in other markets.

The app will stop delivering content, and its widget will no longer receive updates.

Samsung says personal data and profiles will be deleted, except for records it must keep under local rules.

Samsung has not announced a replacement, though Google Discover may remain as the leftmost home-screen feed.

The change matters to people who rely on Samsung News for updates, and users will need another way to get them after the service ends.
