Troubleshooting Health Connect Issues on Android

If you’re not seeing any step data in STEPPI after connecting through Health Connect, follow these steps:

Ensure Only One Step Source is Connected

Health Connect allows multiple apps to share data, but STEPPI can only receive steps from one source.
If you have more than one app (e.g., Google Fit and Samsung Health) providing step data, STEPPI won’t receive any data.

Check Your Health Connect Settings

Open Health Connect on your phone.
Go to App Permissions
Under Allowed Access, make sure only one step-tracking app (Google Fit, Samsung Health, etc.) is enabled.

Disconnect Extra Sources

If multiple sources are connected, disable access for all but one.
Restart the STEPPI app and check if your steps appear.

*Once resolved, it can take up to 5 minutes for the first data call to be read to STEPPI.

If issues persist, try disconnecting and reconnecting STEPPI from Health Connect.
