When you use automatic tracking, Google Fit records your activity for you. Automatic tracking gives you credit to help you reach your fitness goals for everyday activities like a brisk walk or your choice to take the stairs.
How automatic tracking works
How we protect your data
You're in control
You can choose to share your Apple Health data with Google Fit. If you share data you can find it in your daily and weekly activity stats or your workout journal. Google Fit uses your data to recognize workouts that you don’t manually track such as when you walk or cycle on your daily commute.
Google Fit provides you accessible analytics, tracking, and activity history. Your Google Fit data is securely stored on Google servers. If you lose or change your device, your data is backed up on Google servers.
When you set up Google Fit on your device, choose whether to connect to Apple Health. You can connect or disconnect Apple Health at any time. You can also export or delete your activity data at any time.
