Samsung Tizen Watch Shutdown: Time to Upgrade or Risk Malware?

Samsung is sunsetting support for its Tizen smartwatches, affecting models like the Galaxy Watch Active Duo. Starting September 30, 2024, paid content sales will cease, with all support ending by September 30, 2025. Time to consider a WearOS upgrade!

– Samsung is ending support for Tizen-based smartwatches launched before the Galaxy Watch 4
– Changes will roll out in phases starting in 2024, with full support ending by September 30, 2025
– Security updates will cease, leaving older devices vulnerable
– Samsung offers trade-in promotions for older models towards newer WearOS watches
– Affected devices will still function but with limited capabilities
