Samsung’s health app is gearing up to kick off the year by pushing one of the most common goals: exercise. And what better way to stimulate him than by competing with friends? Well, the app is preparing to fill one of the missing gaps: challenge up to nine people in group competitions.
Among all the apps for recording exercise that exist, there is one type of apps that generally offer a large number of functions without the use of announcements or subscriptions: brand apps. For example, Google Fit is a great option, as well as Xiaomi Mi Fit or Huawei Salud. And Samsung Health is one of the pillars of the sports experience on Samsung devices which can also be installed on other mobiles. This ubiquity favors the new option which arrives in January: Samsung finally integrates the competitions with several friends.
Competitions in groups of up to ten friends
Until now we could compete with a multitude of people through the challenges of Samsung Health, we also had the opportunity to perform individual challenges in order to challenge a friend directly. This last mode greatly stimulates sports practice since it suffices to see how the other is better for you to want to sweat your jersey and get ahead. So imagine if you could compete with eight other friends.
Group competitions with multiple friends were absent from Samsung Health despite the fact that apps like Fitbit have been offering this type of group challenge for some time. Samsung decided to correct the defect, as specified by the company. Although yes, not yet available– Samsung Health’s next update, scheduled for January 12, will introduce the announced group mode.
The new functionality can be found in the “Challenges” tab, under the “Challenges” option. In addition to the Global Challenges and the “ 1: 1 Challenge ”, which are currently available, Samsung Health will allow groups with up to ten friends to be included to see who exercises the most. The application will include different graphics, podiums and statistics; allowing you to participate in different groups with the intention of further promoting the exercise. Competitions in the family, in the work group, in that of friends… Everything to start 2021 in the healthiest possible way.
As we said, the group competitions up to ten participants They will not arrive until January 12: it will take a few days to create the group challenges. These contests will be included in the app at no cost to Samsung Health users.
