Health Connect Integration: How Android Users Sync Their Data With YuMuuv
YuMuuv fully supports Health Connect on Android. Health Connect is Google's platform for sharing health and fitness data between apps, and it replaces the Google Fit APIs, which Google says will be supported only until the end of 2026. If you still sync YuMuuv through Google Fit, now is the time to switch. Here is why, and how.

Why Switch to Health Connect?
- Future-proof: Health Connect is Google's long-term solution, while the Google Fit APIs are being retired.
- Works with many apps and devices: including Samsung Health, Fitbit, Polar, Oura, Withings, WHOOP and many more.
- Better privacy control: you decide exactly which data each app can access – steps, distance, exercise, sleep and more.
How to Set Up Health Connect With YuMuuv
- Get Health Connect. On Android 14 and newer it is built into the phone's settings; on older versions, install it from Google Play.
- Open the YuMuuv app and go to the integration settings.
- Select Health Connect from the list of integrations.
- Grant YuMuuv permission to read the data it needs, such as steps, distance and exercise.
- Done! Your data now syncs to YuMuuv automatically.
Tip: make sure the app you track your activity with (for example Samsung Health or your watch's app) is also allowed to write data to Health Connect.
