Samsung Health is an amazing application, both on our beloved Galaxy Phones and Galaxy Smartwatches. However, Samsung intends to terminate core functions in S Health app:

  • Weight management
  • Calorie / food logging
  • Caffeine logging

 

These changes will come into effect within a month with update v6.11. All data relating to these functions will be deleted.

Similarly, your Galaxy Smartwatch will no longer show or log these features with a new Smartwatch update v4.1.

 

There are already posts on this topic in this community where people have raised their discontent, but also in other languages and parts of the world. This thread is to voice our opinion.

 

Samsung Health app without Weight, Calorie logging and Caffeine logging is nothing more than a fancy step-counter. Weight and calorie intake are the core foundation in health.

 

If you appreciate the Health App and the integration in your phone and smartwatch, consider placing a brief message in this thread.

 

Let Samsung know that this is the wrong decision and that you care.

Make your voice heard!

Samsung Health Apps weight management, food logging, calories burnt, calories used during activities has helped me lose 20.3 kilograms so far. I need to lose a bit more. I will then be reliant on maintaining my weight using these wonderful features. 

 

Purely counting steps would not help. I don't understand why such a magnificent app would be diluted by removing core features. This app is used all over the world. Why cut back, rather than go forward. Make each update an improvement, not a disappointment. 

 

Please don't destroy it.

I bought active 2 last year thinking that I'll get advance ECG. Leave ecg, ***** removed my favorite depending features from the watch now. I lost 6 kgs using weight management and calorie counter. I know they were not accurate but I was cool with it. My calculations and plans were showing the result. I regret buying active 2 now. I should have bought a good Garmin for such an expensive price. Atleast I won't be surprised by the updates and also would have had all the promised features unlike ecg. If I don't get the weight management feature in 30 days, I am leaving samsung. Will sell my watch and buy Garmin.

Why changing something that worked for the worst.

The purpose of Samsung Health is to assist users to life a healthier life.

The most important aspect of a healthier you is your body max index. Why making it more difficult to monitor it. Just bring back the old features please!!!!

Samsung, some functions on the health app and Galaxy watch 3 were already inaccurate - but you have removed the last reason to have it with the total calorie count! If this is not fixed, it's my last Samsung product ever!

I feel very disappointed about the removal of Stress management on the Health app for the S20FE model.  One of the features I cherished the most was the oxygen level measurements; I've got ashtma; so that was a pretty useful feature to me; specially when I was feeling a little dizzy. I am afraid I might need to switch to Apple now after being with Samsung since my first cell phone back in 2001.
