Samsung’s new One UI 7 update will no longer support the DeX app. Samsung encourages the use of Microsoft’s Phone Link app.
End of an era. Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7 update marks the end of the DeX app. Android Authority noted a footnote on Samsung’s UK site stating that the DeX PC app “will end support for One UI 7 release.” The DeX app allowed users to mirror their phone screen to their PC, easily moving files between devices.
As a worthy replacement, Samsung encourages the use of Phone Link, a similar app the company partnered with Microsoft for.
Phone Link as a replacement
Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7 update means the end of the DeX app, according to a footnote on Samsung’s UK site. This app allows users with a Samsung Galaxy to open a separate window on their PC where the screen of their device can be seen. This makes it easier to move files between your PC and phone.
As the end of Samsung DeX approaches, a new solution is already on the horizon. Namely, Samsung is encouraging the use of Microsoft’s Phone Link app, which the company has collaborated on for years. The change will take place in Samsung One UI 7 update expected next month.
