Health sync on Android (Google Health Connect)

Yes. On Android, Nutrola syncs through Google Health Connect, the Android equivalent of Apple Health. Open Profile, find the Health & Devices section, and tap Connect next to Google Health Connect. Nutrola reads your steps, weight, body fat, and active calories, and writes weight, body fat, workouts, and logged meals back to Health Connect. Water does not sync to Health Connect.

How do I connect Google Health Connect?

The Health & Devices section appears only on Android (on iPhone you connect Apple Health instead, see Sync with Apple Health (iOS)).

1. Open the Profile tab.
2. Scroll to the Health & Devices section.
3. Next to Google Health Connect, tap Connect.
4. The Health Connect permission screen opens. Approve the data types you want to share, then return to Nutrola.
5. When it is linked, the row shows Connected.

The in-app description reads "Syncs steps, weight & workouts. Using Samsung Health or Fitbit? Turn on their Health Connect sync." Health Connect acts as the hub, so if your steps or workouts come from Samsung Health, Fitbit, or a Wear OS / Galaxy watch, enable that app's own Health Connect sync and the data flows into Nutrola through Health Connect.

What data does Nutrola sync on Android?

Nutrola reads from Health Connect:

• Daily steps
• Weight (latest entry)
• Body fat percentage (latest entry)
• Active calories burned

Nutrola writes to Health Connect:

• Weight you log in Nutrola (How do I record a weigh-in and view my weight history in Nutrola?)
• Body fat percentage you log (Tracking body fat percentage)
• Workouts you log in Nutrola (Logging exercise and calories burned)
• Logged meals (nutrition: calories, protein, carbs, and fat)

Why doesn't my water sync to Health Connect?

Water intake does not sync to Health Connect on Android. The hydration permission was removed to comply with Google Play's Health Connect minimum-scope rules. Your water tracking inside Nutrola still works normally, it just is not mirrored into Health Connect. On iPhone, water does write to Apple Health. To keep logging water in the app, see How to track water intake.

What about sleep, height, and importing workouts?

A few categories are not part of the Android sync:

• Sleep is not read from Health Connect on Android.
• Height comes from your Nutrola profile, not from Health Connect.
• Workout import is one-way on Android: Nutrola writes the workouts you log into Health Connect, but it does not pull existing workouts back from Health Connect. (Importing past workouts from a connected source is an Apple Health feature on iPhone, see Importing workouts from Apple Health.)

It isn't connecting, what should I check?

• Make sure the Health Connect app is installed and up to date. If it needs an update, Nutrola will ask you to update it from the Play Store, then try again.
• If you tapped Connect but nothing synced, reopen Connect and confirm you approved the data types on the Health Connect permission screen. You can change these anytime in the Health Connect app's permissions.
• If data still isn't appearing, see My data isn't syncing.
