When it comes to trying to get healthier, there are tons of apps out there that can help you in one avenue or another. Samsung Health, previously S Health, is an all in one app here to help you build better habits, and track the habits you already have. While there is a lot going on within the app, getting started is easier than you might think.
Create an account
The first thing that you'll need to do to get started with Samsung Health is create a new account or log into an existing S Health account. If you've ever had an S Health account, then you'll be able to log in and access all of your previous health information that was stored. If you want to start over or need to create a new account, that's also an easy process.
- Launch Samsung Health.
- Tap Agree to the terms and conditions.
- Tap Next.
- Type in your information to create an account.
- Tap Sign in.
Set goals for yourself
The first thing that you should do after getting logged in to Samsung Health is set some goals for yourself. While there are plenty of specific goals that you can fine tune later, you get suggestions for the first few goals you set. These include counting calories if you're trying to eat better, a step counter to help your activity level, and a sleep tracker to help you get a solid amount of sleep each night.
- Launch Samung Health.
- Tap Set goals.
- Drag the slider bar to adjust the goal to where you want it.
- Tap Next to save your goal. Repeat this process with each goal.
