Add calorie info to health by photograph on s9+

[Nially]

How do I add calories to Samsung health by taking a photo like they did at the s9 unveiling???? 

[Digitalcorporal]

Been trying to figure this out also - looks like it's not possible as best I can tell.  Something seems to be missing from Bixby Vision

Seems to work ok...

Open Bixby Vision & select the food icon. When it recognises what's there, press the button & it'll come up with the info at the bottom of the screen. I had the option of 'adding to my food with a caption... 

Open Samsung health & click 'manage items, then activate the food icon. Info will be stored there!

Makes sense - the problem is I don't see a food option once I open Bixby Vision.

The available modes are 

Text

Place 

Wine

QR code.

I have watched YouTube videos of people making use of it, but that food option just isn't there on my device.

It's also not on the S9 + my girlfriend picked up either.

Yea I dont have a food option . Maybe its only available in certain country's kinda like they said at the unveiling about the makeup thing

I hope not.

It's already annoying enough that the my BP labs app for Blood Pressure was limited to the US only for now, it would just be plain stupid if the food part of Bixby vision was also limited to certain countries.

While I remember them mentioning the thing about the make up function being limited to certain countries at launch (and my Mrs accepts that), I recall no mention of these features being limited.

How very odd! I'm in UK & it's definitely on mine 🤔

[Digitalcorporal]

Very odd indeed.

I am in Ireland, so usually we tend to fall into the UK timeline for such things.

Yea I'm in Ireland aswell but still dont have it. The lack of Samsung mods replying is shocking.

Agreed - this was a feature they were singing out during their presentation and no information available since on this, or anything else for that matter.

Hi guys. :robothappy:

We're currently  checking into this one at our end for you.

[Digitalcorporal]

Awesome- many thanks

I hate when Samsung does this - announce an interesting new feature and decide not to mention its availability is limited at launch.

A user earlier in this thread posted a screenshot of it identifying a banana correctly.

In Ireland we have the same ***** bananas lol.

In fact, everything available I the Irish market can also be found in the UK so it makes no sense whatsoever in my mind

Seen an update for Bixby vision , glad I didn't hold my breath on the food option been added as it wasnt added, very disappointed I am 

[Digitalcorporal]

Really disliking these shady practices by Samsung.

I feel cheated out of the device that was promised.

And what is with all the cloak and dagger on these things. Go searching through Samsung sites and can't find any official information on any of this.

[Nially]

Shocking its still not on it. The 1 feature i was looking forward to 

[Taradem]

This is the feature most of the people looking for .It was largely promoted before releasing the phone ...

Hey Ho,

I am in Perth, Australia ... was also hoping to see the Food calorie feature, but it's not there .... upon reading some forums and seeing some caviats on samsung website, if not mistaken I believe I have read it saying features only available in certain countries.

Definitely the FOOD and Shopping Features arent here in Australia that i am sure... unless anyone else has any updates around it ?
