TL;DR
Many Galaxy users have reported the Samsung Members app showing a compatibility error over the past few days. Samsung acknowledges the issue and says its team is working on a solution; the web version of Samsung Members remains available.
What happened
Over the last few days a growing number of Galaxy owners have reported being unable to open the Samsung Members app, with the app presenting a message that it is not supported by the phone's system software. Reports surfaced on Reddit and Samsung's community support forum and were aggregated by outlets such as SamMobile. The problem appears on a variety of models — including the S25 family, S24 Ultra, Tab S9 series, and several A-series phones — and users say the issue began over the weekend. While the author of the source article did not see the problem on an S23 FE running One UI 8, multiple reports from other One UI 8 users indicate the problem is not isolated. Samsung has posted that it is aware of access problems and that the responsible team is addressing them. For users who need access immediately, Samsung Members' web interface is reported to be unaffected.
Why it matters
- Samsung Members functions as a central support and community hub for Galaxy owners, so outages can disrupt diagnostics, support requests and device registration.
- The app is a primary route for signing up for and downloading official One UI beta builds, so inaccessibility could block beta enrollment or downloads.
- Wider device coverage of the issue—across flagship phones, tablets and A-series models—means a broad portion of Samsung's user base may be impacted.
- If the problem persists, customers relying on the app for warranty or service tasks may need to use alternate channels such as the web portal or support centers.
