Additionally, the Galaxy Ring will offer the capability to measure skin temperature and predict menstrual cycles. For snore tracking, users will need their phone nearby and charging. Samsung Health will require your permission to record audio through the phone to detect snoring. It’s important to note that the Galaxy Watch has a similar snoring feature.

Unfortunately, no other features have been revealed by the APK teardown.

In related news, it was recently reported that the Galaxy Ring will likely come with a feature called “Lost mode.” When the ring is misplaced and requires assistance to locate, the Samsung Find app is expected to offer the option to activate a light embedded within the ring, causing it to blink. 

Moreover, the app might provide feedback to the user, indicating whether the light is indeed blinking or if there are connectivity issues preventing the activation. Also, Lost mode could offer additional security measures, allowing users to lock their Samsung accounts directly from the app. This precaution would ensure that unauthorised individuals cannot use the Galaxy Ring or access sensitive information linked to the user’s account.
