Samsung Health monthly challenge requiring sync with contacts

[MissAmazing]

Recently, Samsung Health won't allow me to join the monthly challenge unless I connect my contacts. This has never been a requirement before. Is anyone else getting this pop-up? I shouldn't have to give them access to my contacts to participate.

Hello MissAmazing, Welcome to the Community. Thanks for pointing this out. We are also experiencing the same when trying to join the Monthly Health Challenges.

Please submit an error report in the Members app under the Support tab to provide feedback to Samsung. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Submit-an-Error-Report/ba-p/3001692

Maybe another Member can post with any workarounds they may find.
