Samsung Health Medications tracking feature coming to the US later this week
A major Samsung Health update will be rolled out in the US later this week, bringing Medications tracking feature to the application. The company today launched a new Medications tracking feature for Samsung Health app, which allows users to manage their health more comprehensively.
Samsung Health app’s Medications tracking feature will help users easily keep track of both their prescription and over-the-counter medications. Following the rollout, the app will be able to provide important, relevant information and tips about these medications.
It can also assist those who take medications regularly and those taking supplements for general well-being. Upon entering the name of a select medication into Samsung Health, the Medications feature will provide users with detailed info: general descriptions and possible side effects.

Adverse reactions that could occur from drug-to-drug interactions or if taken alongside certain food and substances such as caffeine and alcohol, are also provided. Dosage, time of consumption, and other details can also be added to avoid any potential confusion.
Users can set up alerts that remind them both when to take their medications and when they should consider refilling them. These alerts are fine-tuned to the individual user so the Medications feature can prioritize medications depending on their importance, with Samsung Health sending reminders ranging from “gentle” to “strong” depending on how important or urgent a given prescription is.
For crucial medications, users can set a “strong” reminder that will display a full screen alert on their smartphone accompanied by a long tone. For supplements like vitamins, a simple pop-up reminder will appear that will not disturb the user. Galaxy Watch users will also receive reminders right on their wrist so they can stay on top of their medication schedules, even when away from their phones.
Samsung regularly updates its apps to bring new features and bug fixes for a better user experience. If you want an enhanced calling experience, install the latest version of the Samsung Phone app. We are in May 2024 and Samsung is rolling out a new update for the Phone app with version number 15.0.00.15.
Samsung Phone is the default app for calling on all Galaxy devices, which lets you find and dial contacts quickly and conveniently. But sometimes, it may have some bugs or glitches that affect your experience. That’s why the company constantly releases new updates for this app.
The May 2024 update of the Samsung Phone app fixes some common issues encountered in the previous version. It also brings improvements to the performance and stability of the app. However, the update does not add any new features or changes to the Phone app.
The installation package size of the new Samsung Phone version is 26.23 MB. You can download and install the update from the Galaxy Store. Just open the Galaxy Store, tap on the Menu icon, and select Updates. Then, tap on the refresh icon next to the Phone app. You can also get it directly from here.
This app automatically upgrades with the installation of new software updates. Now, what are you waiting for? Update the Samsung Phone app if you received the new version and make your calls more enjoyable.
Samsung smartphone users have recently encountered a frustrating glitch related to app icons after enabling the One Hand Operation + feature. The icons for the calendar app and clock app in the quick launcher no longer update in real-time.
Previously, when you enabled the One Hand Operation Good Lock module, the icons remained consistent with the settings we applied. However, now when you select Quick Launcher in Handles, the clock and calendar app icons appear according to the default settings.
This means that if you’ve applied a theme, it’s not being applied to these app icons, resulting in an odd interface appearance.
Users have expressed frustration, especially those who rely on the One Hand Operation + feature for seamless navigation. Unfortunately, this inconsistency is affecting the icons as well.
Thankfully, Samsung has acknowledged the issue with One Hand Operation + icons. The moderator apologized for the inconvenience and assured users that the company would fix this problem in the next app update.
While One Hand Operation + is useful for many, this glitch has undoubtedly impacted its usability. So, you can still use its functions, it’s just the appearance of the icons that are affected.
WhatsApp is working on new features to enhance its community group chat functionality. The feature for better Media organization is currently in development and spotted in the WhatsApp beta version 2.24.11.20 for Android.
The new feature will allow users to view all media, such as photos and videos, shared within their community groups. It will improve the organization of shared content and make it easier for users to find specific media items.
For community moderators, this new feature will be mainly useful. It will provide a quick way to overview all shared media to ensure that content aligns with the community’s standards.
Inactive members will also find it beneficial, as it allows them to stay updated by accessing shared media without having to scroll through numerous messages.
In addition to this media feature, WhatsApp is also developing a ‘transfer ownership’ function, which was noted in the previous beta update. This will give community admins the ability to hand over their admin duties to another member.
These features will improve the user experience, especially for those who engage in community group chats. More information about these features will be provided as they become available.
