Then, download the third-party Health Sync app from the Google Play Store. Do note that Health Sync gives users a one-week trial, after which you can either subscribe to the app or drop a one-time payment for a permanent license.

Samsung Health is awesome by itself, but there are ways to get even more out of it. First, you can sync the app and your phone to Samsung Health-compatible devices, like fitness bands, smart watches, headphones, and some smart TVs to help you stay on track with your fitness needs. You can also sync your other favorite fitness apps to Samsung Health, so you can have all your fitness data in one place. Note: Screens and features may vary depending on the phone model, network carrier, and software version.
If you aren't sure which types of accessories can be used with Samsung Health, you can check out the convenient accessories list in the app. It’ll provide you with the name and type of product, like smart watches, heart rate monitors, and sensors so you can find exactly what you need.
Since you can't bring your phone in the pool with you, why not connect your smart watch to Samsung Health so you can keep track of your laps? Adding an accessory is easy to do and can be completed using the Samsung Health app. If you have already connected and set up your Samsung device in the Galaxy Wearable app, it will show as a registered accessory in Samsung Heath.
Samsung Health can connect with a number of other apps, like workplace wellbeing programs, to make it easier for you to track your health all in one place. If you've connected another app to Samsung Health, you can manage its individual permissions so it only reads the data you want to share.
Compatible services, like some workplace wellbeing programs, allow you to share your health data when you’re using Samsung Health. All available services will appear in the app. If you don't see the service you want, it probably isn’t compatible. You can check back later to see if any new services have been added.
Note: With the Samsung Health app version 6.15 and later, you must sign into your Samsung account to use Samsung Health. If you don't want to create a Samsung account on your phone, you can download your Samsung Health data to your phone storage instead. Samsung Health can also be used on your TV. We recommend connecting your mobile app and other compatible accessories (such as a Samsung Galaxy watch) with the experience on your TV. This will allow you manage your health and wellness across multiple devices. In order to do so, the following conditions must be met:
