Magstripe reader does not work with Galaxy S8 - Square needs to update their site

If someone has a Samsung Galaxy S8 and can use the magstripe reader, please let me know.  Otherwise, I feel that I'm correct in saying that it's not supported even though Square claims that it is.

I spoke to Samsung support and they said that the headset jack is audio out only.  Therefore, you can't use it as an input connection for the reader.  I've tried all their troubleshooting ideas and 2 different magstripe readers and nothing works.  So, Square...can you please update your website to show that the reader is not supported on an S8??

Thanks for the wasted time....you should have known this before sending out readers to S8 owners.
