Log in

Having a Samsung account allows you to download content and applications by simply logging in. If you want to download Galaxy Store applications, you must be logged in to your account. However, some content such as Galaxy Essentials, can be downloaded without logging in.

Step 1.

Launch Galaxy Store and tap the “Menu” icon from the main screen.

Step 2.

Tap the settings icon located at the top right of the Galaxy Store menu.

Step 3.

Tap “Samsung account”.

Step 4.

Enter your data and tap “Sign in”. Now you can start downloading apps!

Yes, but first you must log out of the Samsung account that is active and then log in with another account. To do this, tap “Menu,” tap the settings icon, tap “Samsung account,” and tap “Sign out.”

Step 1.

Launch Galaxy Store and tap the “Menu” icon from the main screen.

Step 2.

Tap the settings icon located at the top right of the Galaxy Store menu.

Step 3.

Tap “Samsung account”.

Step 4.

Tap “Sign out”.

To log in again, please follow the same steps that you used to log out.

Note: If there is data (Samsung Cloud, Samsung Pay etc.) connected to the Samsung account from which you are logging out, it will be deleted from the device.

If you do not remember your Samsung account and password, you can find your ID or reset your password following the next guide:

Step 5.

Tap “Password.”

Step 6.

Tap “Change.”

Enter your data and tap “Save”.
