Beta Question

Dzimi_A · ‎19-08-2022

I know the One UI 5 Beta isn't available for the UK yet, but a small question in advance.

Does Samsung Wallet still function in Beta.

During the One UI 4 Beta my default payment app was Google Pay which wouldn't recognize the Beta Firmware.

Unfortunately that's a caveat of downloading beta software @Dzimi_A

In one beta it may work and then the next beta stage may break that feature.

You wouldn't really know until you update which is why a beta really shouldn't be put onto your daily driver i.e main phone.

Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra 512Gb ~ Titanium Black.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

Quite often financial apps or those that require a valid Security Policy won't function correctly (or at all) in Beta releases as the security signatures aren't signed. The app will attempt to open but then fail security check so will either force close or state that the security policy is invalid.
If you rely on your handset and NFC payments then Beta programme participation isn't advised.

I managed to enrol on the last few betas. Samsung wallet worked consistently. Google pay didn't.
