Samsung is developing a new Self-Repair app

This year Apple launched the iPhone self-repair program, which allows iPhone users to repair their own devices, including screens, cameras, and batteries, through Apple’s leased repair kits. After the personal experience, some media practitioners found that this work is not easy. Even with a full set of professional equipment and basic hands-on skills, users are still not enough to do simple iPhone repair work by themselves. However, it does not affect more manufacturers to join them. Both Google and Samsung have cooperated with iFixit this year to launch related self-service repair programs.

According to Sammobile, Samsung is working on a new mobile app to help customers who want to fix their devices themselves. In an application titled “Self Repair Assistant” filed by Samsung with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, it was revealed that Self Repair Assistant app is a“computer application software for mobile phones for self-installation and self-maintenance of smartwatches, tablets, mobile phones, and earbuds.” It’s supposed to provide “consultancy and information services relating to self-installation and self-repair” of various mobile device types. Its icon has a gear and a wrench on a blue background.
