Samsung Health Update - Temperature Tracking

I've just updated the Samsung Health App, and in the previous versions it used to track and show me my actual body temperature (i.e. like 36.2degC). However with this new update it is now telling me only Temperature Changes (i.e. +0.2degC) compared to some 'Recent Average' value. It doesn't tell me what that 'Recent Average' value is, so I have no way of knowing that physical body temperature it's reading. 

Is there a way to change this back to display the actual body temperature, or at least show that the Recent Average' value is to be able to work it out?

Maybe in a day or two it will aggregate and show the average temperature

I'm really bummed about this too - the temperature readings were the main reason I bought the ring

Same problem here.  It's SO annoying!

I hate this update. Completely useless for the purpose of cycle tracking. Obviously not designed by anyone who tracks a cycle. Please Samsung, give us the option to change it back

Indeed Samsung has released a new update for the Samsung

 

Health app, and besides some changes, there's one I really don't understand. Why display only how much the temperature changed during sleep compared to the last time, instead of showing the precise temperature? For example, in the photo, it says "+1.2", but how am I supposed to know what my temperature was last time if it doesn't tell me? It makes no sense! I don't know what my temperature was yesterday, so how can I tell if "+1" or "+O" is positive or negative, seriously? Why remove the precise temperature measurements and only show the variations from the previous day? How am I supposed to know what my temperature was last night? I swear, I don't see the point because there isn't one. Terrible choice, a big downgrade. Before, it gave you precise temperature measurements in degrees; now it gives you variations. Can someone explain the point?

I am so annoyed by this update. As a woman who is tracking my cycle and trying to conceive, using the temperature part of the watch and app is important. Main entire reason I bought this. If this doesn't change, I'll have to get a different device that will actually work and not mess up my logs. I have been a fan of Samsung forever but this is downright STUPID.

I have the same problem! Completely pointless when you want to track your cycle. I'm hoping they change it back.

Wanna know the kicker? It's worse than I thought. Basically, that +1 at 11 isn't telling you your temperature increased by one degree compared to YESTERDAY (which would still be useless, but at least it was something). Instead, it's showing how much the temperature has changed from the very beginning, from the first data point. In fact, if you look closely, you'll see 0, +1, +1.2, +1.3, a kind of scalar progression. It shows the temperature increase from the first point, how much it varies. So, the situation is even worse-it's totally useless! But tell me my actual temperature! How am I supposed to know if the variation is positive or negative? I found this out by talking to the English-speaking community. It's absurd! People there are furious because the data they removed was useful for cycle tracking and so on. We should really wake up here too.

I am furious!!! I've already gave a 1 star review on the app store. It's so absurd and a useless update.
