As some of you will know, Samsung have no longer allowed S-Health to work on devices where Knox has been tripped.
This guide will show you how to get the latest version of S-Health to run without this block
Rooted Devices
This method requires you to be rooted. You can always unroot after doing this
Follow the steps below to remove the S-Health block.
Non-Rooted Devices
If you are not rooted and/or cannot root then you can follow the steps below to get S-Health working (this will only work if the app is not installed as a system app).
You can now use S-Health even with tripped Knox!!
