Samsung health Food search

[BobCramb]

When I search for foods in Samsung Health, it finds food data from American stores but when my wife searches for food on her app in finds food from English Stores. Does anyone know if there is a default search setting for countries?

I'm having a similar issue.  For a few months it used to show foods in South African stores but since last week it just stopped.

Edit:

Try changing your Language to the desired location, i.e English(US)  or English (UK)

You have to change the language to the phone. Samsung has not yet understood that in a global world, one can be in a country and not necessarily want to have the phone in the language for that country. A Country selection within the app, and not at operating system level would have been the right choice, but that would have meant Samsung doing things as supposed to be.

Agreed! Please make this a feature samsung really annoying that you have to change the language to get local food recipes

I did change the language from English UK (the program was showing the US food database) to Swedish (I'm living in Sweden). I didn't get a connection to the Swedish food database, still have it in English (UK or US)!
It's so annoying not being able to use a database that you benefit from.

Are you from an English-speaking country or a small country like I am?

It sounds like Samsung Health uses location settings to show food data based on where you are. To check or change this, go into the app settings and look for options related to regional or country-specific data. Also, ensure your phone's region and language settings match your preferences. If you're ever looking for a quick meal while browsing, you can't go wrong with something from the Firehouse Subs menu—they have delicious options like the Hook & Ladder sub!

Things like these are the best proof that Samsung is a wannabe of a global player, but not a real one. They are so narrowminded that they think that the language selection becomes the country selection. And these things are so easy to implement that it's not a technical issue. It's simply a botched design job and incompetence.

That's right! Samsung has made it easy for itself and linked a language to a country, but many languages ​​are spoken in the same country these days! I always used to have my phone with English menus but was forced to change to Swedish menus at Samsung's request. Many people in my country speak Finnish, Sami, Arabic, Ukrainian, English, Somali, Spanish, Portuguese, and Amharic. They cannot have the menus on the phone in their native language but are forced to have them in Swedish if they like to use the Swedish food database. That is not how a large supplier should set up a service. Imagine if Samsung managed to think a step further and ask the user which food database the user wanted to use instead of assuming that the language on the phone was the same as the country whose food database was to be used.
