Samsung Electronics recently announced a brand-new Group Challenge feature in the Samsung Health app so you can now open a 10-people friendly health competition and see who can move the farthest or the fastest.
While sheltering at home or holiday feasting may have gotten in the way of your fitness goals, getting back on track does not have to feel daunting.
Starting January 12th, 2 Galaxy users can simply create a challenge in the ‘Together’ section of the Samsung Health app to see either who can take the most number of steps in a set amount of time; or who can be the first to reach a certain number of steps. Once a challenge is created, you can then invite up to 9 friends to join, even if they are not existing Samsung Health users.
Group Challenge is the latest expansion of the Samsung Health Challenge features, which can be accessed via the Together tab on the bottom of the Samsung Health app. There is Global Challenge, the most popular type of Challenge, which enables users to enter monthly step count competitions against all Samsung Health users around the world. Samsung also introduced 1:1 Challenge, allowing users to invite one of their close friends or family members to work with you to achieve your step count goals.
Since its launch in 2012 as a simple fitness tracker, Samsung Health has grown into a comprehensive health, wellness and fitness platform, with a wide variety of features, ranging from virtual exercises and mindfulness videos, to the ability to track sleep patterns, heart rate and blood pressure.
