Samsung is ending support for the Quick Measure and AR Doodle apps on December 31, 2026. SlashGear reported the change after updates appeared on the apps’ Galaxy Store pages, while a Samsung Members notice also identifies the same end-of-year date and warns that downloads and future compatibility may be limited.
Quick Measure used a Galaxy phone’s camera and supported sensors to estimate real-world distances and heights. AR Doodle let users draw through the camera view and record the drawing as it appeared in the scene. Both tools turned Samsung’s camera hardware into augmented-reality utilities.
SlashGear reports that the apps are already absent from the Galaxy Store for users with the latest update, although people who already have them installed may continue using them for a time. The Samsung Members notice says support and compatibility may be restricted after the shutdown date.
The end of downloads is different from an immediate deletion from every phone. Existing installations may remain usable, but Samsung has not promised that every function will continue after December 31. Software updates and future operating-system changes can affect an app that is no longer supported.
Samsung previously moved some AR functions out of the built-in camera experience and into separate downloads. The latest notice means users who depend on Quick Measure or AR Doodle should save any needed work and look for an official replacement before the deadline. The sources do not identify a specific replacement app.
This is a software-support story, not a claim that every Samsung phone will lose all augmented-reality features. Samsung’s AR Zone and other camera tools are separate products. The verified change applies to the two named apps and the stated service date.
Users should check their Galaxy Store listing and Samsung Members notifications for device-specific information. If an app is still installed, a backup of important photos or recordings is sensible. Samsung has said the services may return in improved form, according to SlashGear, but it has not announced a replacement date or a confirmed successor.
