How to stop Samsung Health app from crashing on older Galaxy devices
If you own a Galaxy phone or wearable from before 2024 and the Samsung Health app keeps shutting down, you’re not the only one facing this. Many users with older Galaxy phones and Samsung wearables are dealing with the same problem.
Samsung has admitted that the Samsung Health app is having trouble on some devices released before 2024. The crash usually happens when the app tries to connect and share data between your phone and wearable, making it close suddenly.
The wearables hit hardest by this glitch include the Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear Sport, Gear Fit 2, Gear Fit 2 Pro, and IconX 2018. People say the app stops working when it tries to pull data from these gadgets, especially after updating to version v6.29.1.011. Samsung knows about this mess and is fixing it. They’re working on a new app update that will solve the crashing problem for good.
Fixing the Samsung Health App Crash
The easiest way to stop the app from crashing is by updating it to the latest version. This update should make the data-sharing process smoother and keep the app running without issues. Here’s how to update it: Open the Google Play Store on your phone >> type “Samsung Health” in the search bar >> tap on the app’s name. If there’s a new version ready, you’ll see an Update button—just hit it.
Once the update is done, the crashing should stop. To keep everything working nicely, always check for updates to the Samsung Health app. This helps avoid syncing troubles or other hiccups down the road. With this simple step, your older Galaxy phone or wearable can keep tracking your health without the app giving up on you!
