As you may be aware, Huawei and Google Fit no longer have the compatibility they once had (as per the support form here: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/community/details/Huawei-health-Google-fit-integration/topicId_72902/)
However, it is possible to sync your Huawei Health Data with Google Fit using the app Health Sync.
To sync your Huawei Health to Google Fit you can use the Health Sync app. This allows you to use Huawei Health for tracking your fitness activities and steps from your Huawei devices. It can then sync all your data over to Google Fit. Finally, the data can be sent to GoVida from Google Fit as per the configuration set up initially.
How to set up the connection
In order to connect your Huawei Health to Google Fit, follow the steps outlined below.
- Download and Install Health Sync on your Android Phone
- Open the Health Sync app and press “OK” to “First Usage Actions” and “Sync Direction”
- Select “Huawei Health Kit” as the base sync source (Fig 1)
