Covered here:Health Connect
Samsung's steps#
Samsung's US support article "Download or erase your personal data from Samsung Health" gives the download path:
- Open the Samsung Health app, tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Settings.
- Swipe to and tap Download personal data, and then tap Download. Allow the necessary permissions.
- When prompted, enter your Samsung account information, wait for the information to download, and then tap OK to finish.
- To view the downloaded data, navigate to My Files, and then tap Downloads. Tap the Samsung Health folder and browse the downloaded files.
The article does not say what format the files are in or how they are organized, and this page does not guess. Open the folder and look.
Erase is a different button#
The same settings screen has Erase personal data. Samsung warns that all of your Samsung Health data stored on the phone or tablet, as well as in Samsung Health and on the Samsung Health server, will be permanently deleted, and that you won't be able to sign into your account until the deletion completes. Download first if you want a copy.
Other routes#
If Samsung Health shares data with Health Connect on your phone, Health Connect's own scheduled export is a second copy, built for restoring on another device rather than for analysis. Reading Samsung Health data from an app is a separate developer question, covered in the Samsung Health API guide.
Frequently asked questions
Where do Samsung Health downloaded files go on the phone?
To the phone's own storage. Samsung's support page says to open My Files, tap Downloads, then tap the Samsung Health folder to browse the downloaded files, after tapping Download personal data in Samsung Health's settings and entering your Samsung account information.
Does erasing Samsung Health personal data also delete it from Samsung's server?
Yes, by Samsung's own warning: all of your Samsung Health data stored on the phone or tablet, as well as in Samsung Health and on the Samsung Health server, will be permanently deleted. Samsung adds that you won't be able to sign into your account until all of the data is deleted.
What file format does Samsung Health's personal data download use?
Samsung's support article does not say. It documents where the files land (My Files, Downloads, a Samsung Health folder) but not their format or layout, so check the folder after the download finishes rather than relying on a third-party description.
