Samsung Health is getting a new update. What does it bring new? That part is a bit of a mystery due to how Samsung sometimes distributes changelogs for app updates. But we can make an educated guess.
The tech giant is now rolling out Samsung Health version 6.24.0.087 in some markets, including India. Unfortunately, the changelog appears to be a copy-paste from previous versions, which means it’s not to be trusted entirely. Samsung sometimes does this for reasons unknown and redistributes old changelogs with new app versions.
For what it’s worth, the changelog mentions that various bug fixes and improvements have been applied. And more importantly, the skin temperature-based menstrual cycle prediction feature is now supported for the Galaxy Watch 5. This is nothing new in itself, but it might be a new addition to the Galaxy Watch 5 in more markets.
Temperature-based cycle monitoring might be available in more markets
Samsung originally released the skin temperature-based cycle tracking feature for the Galaxy Watch 5 two months ago in select markets, and India was not among them.
Since then, Samsung’s been using the same changelog. And now that version 6.24.0.087 is reusing the same information while it’s rolling out in India, this could mean that the skin temperature-based cycle monitoring feature may now be available in India and possibly other markets.
Originally, as in back in mid-April, Samsung released the feature gradually in the USA, Korea, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.
If you happen to have the Galaxy Watch 5 in India and other markets that are not mentioned above, you can check whether the skin temperature menstrual cycle monitoring feature is available from the cycle tracking screen by accessing Settings and seeing if you can enable the “Predict period with skin temp” Labs feature.
