Samsung Accessory Service

Samsung Accessory Service supports users who connect Galaxy watches, fitness bands, or compatible cameras with a phone. It keeps communication steady across different connection types, so manager apps can handle setup and everyday use without extra steps. Whether you are setting up a new wearable or maintaining an existing one, the service runs in the background to keep things working. If this link is required for your accessory, download Samsung Accessory Service to add the needed system component.

Samsung Accessory Service Features

Accessory compatibility

• Galaxy Gear and Gear 2
• Gear S Series and Galaxy Watch Series

Connection and data exchange

Next, Samsung Accessory Service maintains a link between your phone and the connected accessory so data can be sent and received reliably across supported connectivity environments.

Media file transfer

Additionally, you can move media files between the phone and an accessory when supported. The service needs storage permission to handle these transfers.

Manager app integration and setup notes

• Works with manager apps such as Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Camera Manager Inst.
• On Android versions before 6.0, update the system to manage app permissions.
• After a software update, previously allowed permissions can be reset in device settings.
• If installed or moved to external storage, the service may not operate correctly. To avoid issues, keep the app on internal storage and use the Samsung Accessory Service latest version when available.

Install and start connecting
