Step history missing in Samsung Health? You're not alone

Don't worry, the data's still there.

TL;DR

  • Some Samsung Health users are missing historical step counts after last week’s update, especially data from before November 2.
  • The data does not appear to be deleted, since the step counts still show in Daily Activity for the affected dates.
  • The cause is unclear, though some users suspect a daylight saving time issue, and Samsung has not yet commented.

The Samsung Health update that came out last week appears to have brought with it a bug that has caused the step history to go missing in the app for some users.

A few of them have taken to online forums to complain that they can no longer see their step history, but at least they can rest assured that the data hasn't been deleted.

Last week's update might be to blame

Users on Reddit have reported that historical step counts have gone missing from the Samsung Health app after the update rolled out last week. Some found that their step counts from before November 2nd are no longer visible in the app.

It appears that the bug is simply preventing that step count data from being shown, it hasn't wiped the data altogether, as checking the affected dates in Daily Activity still shows the relevant step count.

It's unclear what's behind this bug but some of the affected users have a theory that this may have something to do with the end of daylight savings time. Perhaps this has caused something to break in the app which is why the step data isn't being shown where it's supposed to be.

Samsung hasn't commented on the matter as yet but given that this is likely a minor software bug at best, it shouldn't be long before we see the company roll out a new update that fixes the issue.
