Samsung announced the Galaxy Fit 2 in September 2020. It is an affordable fitness tracker from the company. Almost one and a half years after its debut, the wearable is receiving a new firmware update that brings some useful features.

According to TizenHelp (via SamMobile), Samsung has started seeding a new software update for the Galaxy Fit 2 in India weighing at just 2.16MB. It arrives with firmware version R220XXU1AVB8. The update should be available in other regions in the coming days.

The latest update for wearable comes with three new features. Users can now finally control their smartphone’s camera shutter on their fitness tracker. Further, they can now send a message while declining an incoming call. Finally, the update also adds ‘Rope Jumpig’ counting feature.

The changelog says that the camera shutter control feature only works on devices running Android 7.0 Nougat or higher. This is fine as there aren’t many active users on Android 6.0 Marshmallow or blow.

The last firmware update for the Galaxy Fit 2 was released back in late March 2021. In other words, the new update arrives almost a year after the last one.

As of now, there doesn’t seem to be any rumor regarding the successor for this fitness tracker. Also, it is not known how long Samsung will be providing software support for this product as it is almost sold out in most markets.
