Hi I noticed my old weights started disappearing and after observing the pattern for several months I can see the history simply stops showing the older ones after they are around 5 years old

I am sure the data is there just not loaded, for other activities like steps and sleep this is not the case, any chance this can be fixed in a later update?

I doubt that Samsung will make a change to this issue that you point to, for three reasons:

1. Most people don't have a need for information that is that old, and don't keep their phones for more than that.

2. That data takes up space on your phone and on the Samsung servers when you backup the app there. Not sure why they chose body mass data over sleep data or not to limit both, but they appear to have done so.

3. I don't think there is a service agreement for ANY Samsung device or service that is greater than five years.

I would strongly suggest, that if you feel you need this information, and wish to retain it, that you export the data regularly.

Yeah I have changed phones since 2016 when my data started, so I know all my data is synced to the cloud, would be weird if they are actually deleting the data as soon as it becomes more than 5 years old so I assumed is a display only issue, but I really don't know

I guess I would need to keep it synced with google fit in order to not loose it
