Troubleshoot Health Connect & send feedback

Use this article to quickly find answers to common questions about Health Connect.

Why data hasn't synced

There are a few reasons why your data might not sync:

The connected app may not have permission to read or write data from Health Connect. Check if the app has been granted permissions.
The app might not support that specific data type yet. Check if the app has requested permissions.
The sync may not have started properly. Make sure that you start sync through the connected app’s settings. Try to turn the permissions off and turn on sync again through the connected app. If this still doesn’t work, reach out to the connected app’s support.

How data is merged when there are conflicts

When multiple apps write the same type of data, that data is merged. If conflicts occur, Health Connect uses the app priority you set to choose which app’s data to prioritize.

For example, if fitness app A and fitness app B are both writing step count from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, Health Connect takes the number of steps from the app that has higher priority.

While some apps may use the data merged by Health Connect, others may choose to read all of the data and merge it in their own way. If you want only one app to write a certain type of data, you can remove permissions from every other app that writes that data.

Why data is different than expected

Health Connect lets multiple apps write data into the same on-device storage. As a result, inaccuracies can occur for a number of reasons.

You can delete any inaccurate data so that Health Connect doesn't use it. If you want only one app to write a certain type of data, you can remove permissions from every other app that writes that data.

Why an app doesn’t read or write a certain data type

Health Connect is a new platform. Apps are still integrating with Health Connect, and new data types may take some time to implement. If there’s a data type you want to get from a connected app, reach out to their feedback channels to let them know. You can leave in-product feedback if there’s a data type you want to get that Health Connect doesn't support.
