Samsung Sound App to Shut Down by March 31, 2027
Samsung is folding its Sound app into SmartThings. Users must register their sound devices in SmartThings to keep settings.
Samsung has announced that it is discontinuing its dedicated Samsung Sound app and integrating its features into SmartThings. An update to the Samsung Sound app now displays a notice informing users of the discontinuation and the move to SmartThings.
According to Samsung, users need to register their sound device in the SmartThings app to keep using their existing settings. The Samsung Sound app will remain available until March 31, 2027, after which users must use SmartThings to set up and control compatible Samsung sound devices.
The change means that all setup and control for Samsung Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars will shift to SmartThings. Samsung Sound had launched on Android and iOS a few months before October 2026 as a dedicated app for these devices.
At launch, Samsung Sound reportedly lacked some SmartThings controls, including IP control, Auto Power Off, and a shortcut for Tap Sound. The integration into SmartThings may bring these features together under one app.
