The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked took place in Las Vegas recently and the official Samsung Twitter/X account sent out a tweet which caused some confusion and chuckles on the internet.

In one tweet, popular content creator Valkyrae was wrongly tagged, which she did point out on Twitter. Then some chaos ensued which had everyone confused.

Valkyrae Blocked By Samsung On Social Media

When Valkyrae saw the tweet she'd been tagged in by Samsung, she realized she was not the person in the photo. She quote retweeted it stating "hey Samsung, that is not me lol". This caused the social media manager of Samsung to panic and I gues... block her?

Valkyrae showed a screenshot of the Samsung Twitter account and how it blocked her. This caused others to chime in, with companies like One Plus tweeting out, "we'd never block you".

Samsung has since responded, apologizing to the content creator for not only blocking her, but also tagging her in an image she wasn't even in.

Hello. We sincerely apologize for the mistakes we made during the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event. We would never block you on purpose. We will exercise greater caution to make sure these mistakes don't happen again.

That's basically the end of the story. Of course, there are still people online meme-ing the response from Samsung and how serious they are about this matter – it is the internet after all.
