Samsung Kills AR Doodle and Quick Measure | Durham News

Samsung is shutting down its AR Doodle and Quick Measure apps by December 31, 2026, marking the end of a once-hyped AR era. These features, which promised immersive drawing and virtual measurements, never gained widespread adoption and are now being phased out as Samsung pivots toward generative AI integration across devices. The move reflects shifting tech priorities and declining consumer interest in AR, especially as AI takes center stage. While Samsung hints at reviving improved AR tools later, no timeline is set. Users who rely on these apps should download them now and avoid major updates to extend their lifespan. Alternatives exist for all other users — AR and measurement tools work across brands on the Google Play Store. It’s a stark reminder that manufacturer-specific features aren’t guaranteed forever.
