Samsung has started rolling out a major new update for its S Health app that adds a bunch of features to the app. The updated app aims to help in making it easier for you to remain fit by introducing Together through which you and your friends can compete with each other to achieve your daily fitness goals.
You can set a ‘Step Challenge’ in the updated S Health and then invite your friend or family to it. There is also a Steps leaderboard feature in the app now that lets you compare the steps you have walked to all your friends, other people in your age group, and S Health users across the globe. The updated app also features a Detect Workouts option that is automatically capable of tracking your running, cycling, walking, and hiking sessions that are at least 10 minutes or longer in length. The updated My Page section of the app now provides you with a weekly summary of all your activities, with the app now supporting over 40 exercises. To better take advantage of the heart rate scanner that is found on some of its flagship phones, the updated S Health app features a Quick Measure option. With the feature enabled, simply place your finger on the heart rate monitor and set your device facedown to check your heartbeat without needing to start the app. S Health is now also optimised for Gear Fit 2 that is compatible with all Android 4.4+ or higher devices that come with at least 1.5GB of RAM. This particular update, however, is only for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 5, and Galaxy S7 series of handsets from the company. Download: S Health
