Zepp Health can now sync much more data with Health Connect
Zepp Health just made life a bit easier for Android users by stepping up its game with Health Connect. You can now sync way more health and fitness data than before—26 types, to be exact—and it’s good timing, too, since Google’s retiring its Fit API soon.
Before, you could link Zepp to Health Connect, but it wasn’t super useful because only a handful of data could sync. Now, you can send over everything from heart rate to calories and even sleep stats. Just a heads-up, though: this update only works one way—Zepp writes the data to Health Connect, but it doesn’t pull anything back.
If you’re juggling multiple fitness apps, this is a win. Health Connect pulls everything into one place so you can keep all your stats organized. For Zepp fans using Android, it’s basically a must-have now.
How to set it up
Getting this up and running depends on your Android version. But it’s a simple process.
If you’re on Android 9-13, you’ll need to grab Health Connect from the Google Play Store first. After that, open the Zepp app, go to your profile, and find “3rd Party Account Linking.” Click Health Connect, authorise it, and decide if you want to sync everything or just specific data categories.
If you’ve got Android 14 or newer, it’s even easier. Health Connect is built into the system, so just head to the same spot in the Zepp app, click Health Connect, and manage permissions. Again, you can either sync it all or pick and choose what data you want to share.
Google is shutting down the Fit API soon. Which means Health Connect is taking over as the main way fitness apps talk to each other. It’s Google’s way of simplifying things so you don’t have to deal with a bunch of disconnected APIs.
For Zepp users, this update keeps everything running smoothly with Google’s latest tools while letting you sync more of your health data. If you haven’t linked it up yet, now’s the time. It’s quick, easy, and you’ll be set for when the Fit API officially bows out.
