Samsung Video Library app will disappear early in 2024
Soon the next year is approaching, as we only have a couple of months. We may not have decided our new year’s resolution, but it seems Samsung has decided it. Starting January 1, 2024, one of the useless applications of Samsung, the Samsung Video Library, will not be available for use as the business will discontinue the application for several models. Users of the application should notice the alert that has been sent to the application; however, users who have not used the application can be worry-free. An announcement was received by the firm stating that it will not be updating the app going forward or supporting compatibility with One UI 6.0 and Android 14 updates.
The Video Library app isn’t functional on the Galaxy S23 running stable One UI 6.0, as tested by SamMobile. They received notice from Samsung stating that “after the discontinuation date [January 1, 2024], you can continue to use the app […] in the OS versions or supported models.” The list of models and OS versions that can continue using the application includes,
- Galaxy S5 to Galaxy S23 series
- Galaxy Note 4 to Galaxy Note 20
- Galaxy smartphones from the M,Z, and A series
- Models that run on Android 6 to Android 13
What is the Samsung video library app?
An app called Samsung Video Library is meant to make managing your films easier for you.

Actually, every video will be automatically categorized into several folders. To find the one you’re searching for, simply conduct a brief search within the program, then go to enjoy it.
A gallery app made just for videos is called Samsung Video Library. All of the video footage on your Android smartphone can be quickly and simply organized using its optimization capabilities. Remember that it is specifically made for Samsung phones that are running an up-to-date Android version.
Samsung has released the Galaxy Enhance-X’s new update. The company doesn’t attach any specific changelog for the application; therefore, it looks like a standard improvement update, but after the installation, we got to know about some new changes in editing sections. Let’s take a deeper look.
Samsung Galaxy Enhance-X: new changes
Samsung has rolled out the new update for the Enhance-X with version number 2.0.89. With the latest version, users will get some new interface changes, including a new redesign of the editing suggestions and a new set of icons.
When you open a picture or video in the Galaxy Enhance-X, it automatically analyzes the content with its AI and suggests to you a set of options that you can use to easily edit. Despite the redesign of these options, the series of suggestions has not introduced any additional innovation.
Along with the icon changes, the company has also changed the order of them. The company has moved the ‘Fix lens distortion’ option from the section that offers the option of real test adjustment image or cropping to the secure related faces.
Installation
To get the advantages of fresh changes, you can check for the latest update. To do that, just go to the Galaxy Store and check for the list of updates. If you find the Galaxy Enhance-X new update available, tap on the update icon to get it on your device.
WhatsApp is one of the popular social media giants that is commonly used worldwide; however, at the same time that WhatsApp became popular gradually, several social media applications arrived, but they didn’t survive in the market. WhatsApp, with its convenient features, has a strong consumer base and is successful in providing better services. However, users who use the beta application sometimes get issues, like recently encountered annoying bug issues while opening the documents.
According to the reports, several users have faced an issue where they are unable to download the document file. Specifically, when they tap on the download button, it reacts as if the application is out of network and shows a pop-up message that says, “The download was unable to complete. Please try again later.” It is worth noticing that the issue only appears for beta testers. So a stable user will not get any trouble from this issue.
Usually, this type of pop-up message appears when you are not connected to the proper network. But according to the information, several beta testers are facing this issue while on a strong network. Most probably, it might be some server-side problem with interpreting the stable network.
However, WhatsApp has resolved the issue with the latest update, version 2.24.10.15. So if you are also facing the same issue, then try to update the application to the latest version. To do that, go to the Google Play Store, then search for WhatsApp, and tap on the update button.
Google already made the Android 15 Beta 1.2 available to download for Pixel owners and is gradually but actively moving towards the stable version. The stable version of Android 15 could offer more access to third-party developers for Digital Wellbeing tools.
A few years ago, Google introduced its Digital Wellbeing application in 2019, this helps users balance their digital lives by tracking how much time they spend on each application. It includes various tools such as Dashboard, App timers, and more.
Third-party developers have been limited in how they can use the digital wellbeing tools, but that may be changing with Android 15. For now, third-party applications can only make Do Not Disturb schedules using Android’s Digital Wellbeing APIs, but in the scenarios where Android 15 lands by the end of this year, they will get the power to more fully make use of the tools Google has been keeping to itself.
Particularly, third-party applications will be permitted to make changes to the screen, for instance, by turning off the Always On Display or authorizing Dark Mode. Granted, developers have acknowledged workarounds to enable those features, but now it appears that those functionalities will have official support, a report says.
If this report came true, then users would have a wider variety of applications to manage screen time and focus at their convenience, instead of relying simply on Google’s built-in tools. However, a few core functionalities; for instance, disabling touch and adjusting brightness will possibly remain restricted. It will be interesting to see the exact change in the stable version.
