Samsung claims that the aforementioned app has over 65 million monthly active users worldwide and that the latest version comes with improved personalization capabilities that "empower users to take greater control of their health and wellness," updated health and fitness tools, all integrated into a whole new user interface.

These are the highlights of the changes mentioned above:

• a simplified home screen

Samsung Health 6.0 requires Android 5.0 Lollipop or later, but it also works on iPhone 5 (or later) handsets that run iOS 9.0 and above. As usually happens with such apps, the features available depend on the region, service provider, and hardware/software combination.
