iFixit is on the mission to help Samsung fulfill its self-repair program venture that it launched yesterday, focusing on the many guides that the company has to work with users on their needs. The repair company is also helping by bringing its online forum available for all, centering on the repair program that will help fix Galaxy smartphones.

iFixit released a new blog post that centers on the company's expansion of their Samsung Galaxy smartphone program for fixing the device for the user's needs. Here, iFixit included several links to many Samsung device repairs available in their guides. It would help the owners find the right way to access the internal components of their smartphones.
Samsung's Galaxy S22 and earlier devices already have several guides on the platform for everyone to use, having several walkthroughs or directions for the repair process. iFixit gives various information regarding every guide; take, for example, the Galaxy S20 battery replacement process that has time expectations and level of difficulty in doing it, apart from the guide proper.

Samsung's Self-Repair Program
Samsung and iFixit are partnering on this venture as the South Korean tech giant announced its self-repair program earlier today. The company intends to let the public gain access to tools and guides that will help them fix their devices without the need to bring them to service centers or authorized professionals for several tasks.
Right to Repair Law
The Right-to-Repair law was a massive topic in 2021, and it talked about how the Biden administration supported the cause. Many regulatory agencies helped in fulfilling this for everyone. The FTC is also one supporter of the law, and it launched talks and cases with Big Tech companies to allow the public to focus on their devices.
Initially, there were many disputes about the right-to-repair law that the country talked about in the past years, with President Joe Biden drafting a mandate that will allow the public to carry out the procedure. It took away the power from Big Tech's control of the market, particularly with repairs that users can do by themselves.
Now, it seems that most Big Tech companies in the industry are adhering to the right-to-repair law that the country launched for everyone to utilize. However, it does not mean that service providers are closing shop, as they will continue to function for those that would rather have them fix their gadgets than their own hands.
Samsung and iFixit's venture is a massive help for everyone that aims to repair their Galaxy smartphones for their preferences.
