Samsung Health App Support Ending for Older Devices

Samsung has announced that the Samsung Health app will no longer be supported on older devices, such as the Galaxy S8 or Note 8. This means that these devices will not receive any updates, new features, or bug fixes for the Health app.

It’s important to note that Samsung has a history of dropping support for older phones from its health and fitness services. The last time this happened was in 2021.

If you are still using an older Samsung phone, it may be time to consider upgrading to a newer device. While many people are holding onto their compact handsets from the past, it’s essential to keep up with technological advancements.

In the latest version of the Samsung Health app (v6.27), a system message has been discovered warning users that the app will no longer be supported on devices running Android 9 or below. The message advises users to update to at least Android 10 to continue enjoying new features and support.

Samsung Health is crucial for pairing with and controlling various wearables and fitness accessories, even those not made by Samsung. This includes tracking sleep, fitness data, and overall well-being reports. Therefore, upgrading your device is necessary to continue using these features seamlessly.

As technology continues to evolve, it’s essential to stay up-to-date with software updates and compatibility requirements. If you’re still using an older Samsung device, now may be the perfect time to consider upgrading for a better user experience and continued support from Samsung Health.
