Samsung Health is incompatible with the Galaxy s8?

[Jackhklee]

Is this a bug or??? I'm running 7.0 nougat, Verizon, Galaxy s8... I uninstalled the Health app a month ago, then decided I needed it and this issue popped up

I use it daily on my S8+

As jeffmd says... Use Samsung Galaxy app store, not the Play Store

I initially thought you could only get it on the Galaxy Store, but after re-reading OP, went to Google Play store and clicked it. Shows as installable on my S8. Hmm, not sure what's going on with yours.

Mary, i dont see it on the store with my Verizon s8 either so i assume it is also incompatible with my phone too.

Is everything working properly for you now, OP? Strange that that happened!

Not really. Samsung is just running 2 builds of the software, one it made for and test on certain galaxy phones, and one made and tested for the masses but NOT tested on the galaxy phones. They simply left the S8 off the compatibility list of the android store so you would only be running the galaxy tested samsung store version.

Oh wow! I didn't know that. Thank you for explaining!
