How do I connect Health Connect?

You can use this article to connect Health Connect to STEPPI.



IMPORTANT: Having multiple apps permitted in Health Connect may cause issues. To avoid conflicts, only allow either Samsung Health (if you use a Samsung Watch) or Google Fit, along with STEPPI. Please open Health Connect and check your app permissions to ensure only the necessary apps are enabled.

😀 Great for: Users who want to track steps from their Android Phone📱

Set up is simple, follow these steps:

In the Choose Device screen in the STEPPI app, select Health Connect
Click Connect
When asked to provide access for STEPPI to read health data, toggle on Allow All
Click Allow
You will then be redirected back to the STEPPI app



You're all set, you can now connect a variety of apps to Health Connect, which in turn will write the data to STEPPI.

Important Note: Some third-party app integrations with Health Connect do not currently support reading all data points. See the details below:

Google Fit: Active Minutes data is not currently accessible, meaning Active Minutes tracked in Google Fit will not appear in STEPPI.
Samsung Health: Active Minutes data is also not accessible, so Active Minutes recorded in Samsung Health will not be reflected in STEPPI.

STEPPI continuously reviews app integrations and will update data syncing capabilities as improvements become available.

Technical Tip: We recommend opening STEPPI every day to sync your steps when on a challenge 🏃🏼‍♂️
