  • Samsung Health no longer supports devices running Android 9 and older, according to an uncovered message.
  • Affected users can still run older versions of the app, but with “limited services and features” and no support.

Samsung Health has been around for well over a decade now, debuting as S Health way back in 2012. Unfortunately, new versions of the app are no longer available on much older Samsung phones.

Android Authority and app expert AssembleDebug spotted a message in Samsung Health that version 6.27 of the app is no longer available for devices running Android 9 or older. The message notes that this move took effect on June 24.
