Samsung announces launch Samsung FoodAn app that the company describes as a new, personalized food and recipe platform powered by Artificial Intelligence. It’s available for both iOS and Android, and interestingly, it wasn’t yet called Samsung Food at the time of this article.

The link provided by Samsung leads to one of the most popular recipe apps on the Play Store: Whisk: Recipes and Weekly Menu. All makes more sense than it seems.

In March 2019, Samsung Next (one of the Samsung Electronics groups dedicated to creating, investing and launching tech startups) acquired Whisk, an American company based in San Francisco that specializes in content related to the world of online gastronomy.

Four years later, leveraging the original app’s database and structure, Samsung is reviving the concept under the name Samsung Food. The whisk was already there over a million downloads With an average rating of 4.2 on the Play Store.

During this integration, the company tells us that there are more than 160,000 recipes available, the possibility of creating a recipe plan according to the foods we prefer, and different suggestions through artificial intelligence.

Besides being a recipe app, its potential lies in the community section. Like other offerings in this style, the app has a discovery section where we found a very active community. In it, users share recipes that can be commented on, rated and added to both our meal plan and our social profile. Likewise, we can join or form groups (vegan foods, high protein foods, low carb foods, etc.) so that our experience with the practice and community revolves around our diet.

Proceed the application in the same way Allows you to control household appliances. Currently this integration is not active yet. Because you belong to Samsung, you would expect compatibility to be limited to your own family devices.

Samsung Food, formerly Whisk: Recipes & Weekly Menu, is completely free to download on iOS and Android. Besides these two operating systems, the app also runs on its own website and a Google Chrome extension.
