How Your Activities Sync
Once Google Fit is connected to both Health Connect and Strove, your activities will sync automatically.
Initial Sync: Your past day's activity data should appear in Strove within an hour of connecting.
Ongoing Syncs: Data will continue to sync periodically as long as all apps remain connected and permissions are enabled.
Important Things to Note
Activities you manually add to Google Fit will not sync to Strove.
You might need to open the Google Fit app occasionally to trigger syncing.
There can be a delay of up to 24 hours for data to sync between Google Fit and Strove.
Strove only supports syncing activity data recorded up to 7 days prior. Older data may not be available.
Troubleshooting Syncing Issues
If your activities aren't syncing:
Check Permissions: Double-check that permissions are set to 'Allow' in both Google Fit and Health Connect.
Reconnect: If issues persist, try disconnecting and then reconnecting your Google Fit account within the Strove app.
Troubleshooting Health Connect Issues
If you're having trouble with Health Connect:
Permission Notifications: If Health Connect notifies you about permissions, open the Health Connect app and ensure all necessary permissions are enabled in its settings.
Accessing Health Connect: If you can't find the Health Connect icon, open the Google Play Store, search for "Health Connect," and launch the app from there. Make sure permissions are enabled for connected apps like Strove.
Keep Health Connect Installed: It's crucial for Health Connect to remain installed and active on your device for uninterrupted syncing. Address any warnings about removing the app immediately and regularly verify permissions for all linked health apps.
