Samsung is ending support for two Galaxy apps that use the phone’s camera and sensors. The Samsung AR Doodle and Quick Measure apps will stop accepting new downloads after December 31, 2026, according to an update reported by SlashGear.

AR Doodle lets users draw over the camera view. The drawings can be anchored to faces, objects or a scene, creating an augmented-reality effect. Quick Measure uses the camera and device sensors to estimate the size or distance of objects.

Samsung’s latest Galaxy Store update says the two apps will be removed from the store. Users who already have them installed may be able to keep using parts of the apps, but future One UI versions will not support them.

Android Authority reported that Samsung’s app changelog describes the retirement as a service decision. The company said it is committed to returning with improved services, but it did not announce replacement apps or a launch date for new versions.

The change follows an earlier shift in Samsung’s software strategy. Quick Measure and AR Doodle were once promoted as built-in or featured Galaxy experiences. One UI 7 had already moved them away from being standard preinstalled tools on some devices.

People who use the apps should export or record anything they want to keep before the shutdown. The reports do not say that existing sketches or measurements will be converted into another Samsung app after support ends.

The retirement does not mean that Galaxy phones are losing their cameras or measurement sensors. It means Samsung is withdrawing the two named software experiences from its store and future One UI support.

For Galaxy owners, the practical question is whether another app can replace the same functions. Samsung has not provided a complete replacement list, so users should treat the December deadline as a software-support change rather than a hardware failure.
