Samsung Health Discontinues Popular Fitness Programs for App Redesign

Samsung Health is discontinuing a significant number of its older, downloadable fitness programs as part of a larger app redesign. According to Android Central, any workout content uploaded before December 31, 2022, will be deleted in a major data cleanup.

However, real-time streaming workouts will remain accessible. The company has started notifying users that specific content within the Fitness tab will be removed. This decision aligns with Samsung's shift towards streamlined health integrations across Galaxy devices, and the removal of older material is expected to make way for new features, likely cloud-based.

The updated Samsung Health app is set to roll out this December alongside One UI 8.5, which will offer improved weekly summaries and better insights into health trends. Users still utilizing older versions of the app may experience errors when accessing the deprecated programs after the update takes effect.
