Summary
Samsung Health users are seeing a new consent screen that lets Samsung use activity, records, medication and menstrual-cycle data for AI training and modeling.
Opting out keeps the app running but blocks syncing with a Samsung account, and the notice says unsynced health data will be deleted unless law requires otherwise.
Samsung says the data will support expanded AI health features, including workout recommendations, sleep analysis and nutrition insights, with some processing subject to human review.
Those upgrades were outlined in June and are expected to debut first on the Galaxy Watch 9 line at Samsung's July 22 Unpacked event, making consent a gatekeeper for core Health functionality.
