Huge battery drain from Samsung Health

[sugarmuncher]

Any tips on how to resolve Samsung Health's huge battery drain?

It used to sit happily in the background tracking steps with little usage on the battery but I've noticed it's now used 45% in a 24 hour period, even 25% overnight when asleep.

I've had to deep sleep the app and this has rescued my battery life but I would like the full functionality of the steps tracker with the old usage.

I've also tried clearing cache partition from the system but this hasn't helped.

Sync the app with Samsung Cloud (to avoid data loss) and then from Settings > Apps > Samsung Health > Storage, clear data.  This will reset the app. Open the app and resync with Samsung Cloud. Check if this helps in bringing the battery usage back to normal.

Make sure it's not trying to sync with a watch or somthing you might have been using but don't use any more.

  I was at 67% and since I wasn't home and didn't want to make noise, I didn't bother charging mostly because it wouldn't matter.  Power saver mode and don't use the screen and I'll be at 55% when I need to charge but my phone was at 27% when I looked after my shower.

  The only change was the Samsung Health application.

  That's all I changed.

  Now I don't know if I should keep it......
