Notification of Samsung Health Connection

The launch screen of a partner app, event pop-up, or information space is a good approach to notify users of connecting with Samsung Health. A partner app needs to inform users with as concrete description and information as possible.

  • Do show explicitly a notification of working with Samsung Health as a partner app. The app's launch screen is recommended.

  • Do include a concrete description of the data synced with Samsung Health.
  • Do show the "Samsung Health" name or its icon. See the naming and icon guide.
  • Do add a UI flow to show the data permission pop-up after the notification message.

A partner app should provide a menu with a convenient interface for the user to change the data sync setting with Samsung Health.
