Key Features Since Launch: 

1. Activity Tracking: From the beginning, Samsung Health provided a simple pedometer, tracking steps taken, calories burned, and distance traveled. Over time, this feature has expanded to track specific activities like running, cycling, swimming, and more. 

2. Food and Water Logging: Samsung Health allows users to log their daily food intake, tracking calories and nutrients, as well as water consumption to help users maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated.

3. Sleep Monitoring: Sleep tracking has been a major feature, with Samsung Health providing insights into sleep patterns, quality, and duration. It breaks down sleep cycles to offer suggestions on improving rest. 

4. Heart Rate Monitoring: With the integration of heart rate sensors in Samsung devices, Samsung Health can monitor your heart rate during activities or rest, helping track your overall cardiovascular health. 

5. Stress Management: Samsung Health includes stress tracking using heart rate variability. It offers breathing exercises and guided meditation programs to help users lower stress levels. 

6. Challenges and Social Sharing: To motivate users, Samsung Health introduced challenges that let users compete with friends or family. These can range from step-count competitions to specific fitness goals. 

Best Current Features and Tricks: 

1. Personalized Insights: Based on your activity and data, Samsung Health now offers personalized fitness insights and health tips to help you optimize your workouts and lifestyle. 

2. Women’s Health: Samsung Health includes comprehensive features for tracking menstrual cycles, ovulation, and symptoms, offering insights and reminders based on the user’s input. 

3. Fitness Programs & Guided Workouts: The app offers free fitness programs, guided video workouts, and fitness plans for users of all fitness levels. From beginner to advanced, users can find routines tailored to their goals. 

4. Integration with Wearables: Samsung Health integrates seamlessly with Samsung Galaxy wearables like smartwatches (e.g., Galaxy Watch 6, Watch Active), fitness bands, and heart rate monitors to offer continuous, real-time health tracking. 


5. Third-Party App Integration: Users can sync Samsung Health with popular apps like Strava, MyFitnessPal, and Google Fit, allowing data from these apps to appear directly in Samsung Health. 


6. Health Monitoring Sensors: In the latest Galaxy devices, Samsung Health can monitor advanced health metrics, including blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), ECG (electrocardiogram), and even blood pressure when connected to compatible devices. 


7. Samsung Health Together: Samsung Health Together allows users to team up and participate in global challenges, promoting a social element to fitness, where friends can motivate each other and track progress collectively. 


8. Bixby Integration: Using Bixby, Samsung’s virtual assistant, users can issue voice commands like “Start my workout” or “How many steps have I taken?” for hands-free control. 


Device Compatibility: When first launched, Samsung Health was primarily available on Samsung smartphones. 

However, over the years, the app has broadened its support and now runs on a wide variety of devices, including: Samsung Galaxy Smartphones: All flagship models (S Series, Note Series, Z Fold, Z Flip) and many mid-range Galaxy devices support Samsung Health. Wearables: Samsung Galaxy Watch series, Gear Fit series, Galaxy Fit, and older models like Gear S2 and Gear S3. Smart TVs: Samsung Health is now available on select Samsung Smart TVs, allowing users to track workouts on a bigger screen. Tablets: Samsung tablets running Android 7.0 and higher can support the Samsung Health app. Non-Samsung Devices: Samsung Health can also be installed on non-Samsung Android smartphones running Android 6.0 or higher, and iPhones running iOS 9.0 or later.0.
