Some Samsung Galaxy phones will soon lose access to an essential feature

Samsung Galaxy S24 family of phones.

Do you remember when we used to carry around cash? The days of coins and notes can often seem like a distant memory - I only carry around a pound coin for my locker at the gym. Nowadays pretty much everyone uses a card or their phone. Well if you have an older Samsung phone you might have to dust off your wallet or purse. 

Some users have been reporting receiving a message from Samsung that any device using Samsung Wallet on Android 9.0 or earlier will no longer be supported from next month, March 15th to be exact. If for some reason you're running an old version of Android on a newer phone, now is the time to update, but as clarified by the warning - if you have a Galaxy S10 or older, you're out of luck. That phone was released in March 2019, which feels like last week but is actually about to be five years ago. It doesn't support Android 10 or higher so there will be no more Samsung Wallet.
