Did you know that you don’t need a smartwatch or fitness band to track your steps?
You can always manually log your daily step count in the inHealth wellbeing portal, but if you have the wellbeing app for iOS or Android and use Apple Health or Health Connect, you can connect your iPhone, Android, fitness tracker, or smartwatch, and make sure every step counts!
Your smartphone can automatically track how many steps you take and the distance you walk. It’s simpler than you might think. Just remember to carry your phone with you throughout the day for accurate readings.
No matter what device you’re using, here’s how to connect it to the Apple Health and Health Connect apps to automatically track key wellbeing data.
The app can automatically sync the following data categories: Steps, Physical Activity, Distance, Weight, Blood Glucose, and Blood Pressure.
Choose your device type below for step-by-step instructions.
Before you begin: Make sure Apple Health is set up and enabled on your iPhone.
Turn on Motion Tracking (if not already done):

Before you begin: Make sure Health Connect is installed and set up on your Android phone.
You’ll also need a Health Connect–compatible app, such as Google Fit, to record and share your step data. The steps below use Google Fit as an example. If you use another Health Connect–compatible app (like Samsung Health), follow that app’s prompts to connect and share data with Health Connect.

Have a smartwatch or fitness tracker? Here’s how to link it to your inHealth app so your activity data counts automatically toward your wellbeing goals.
Before you begin: Make sure your fitness device is already syncing with Apple Health (for iPhone users) or Health Connect (for Android users) through its companion app.

Notes:
By following these steps, you can track your daily activities effortlessly. Whether using just your phone or syncing a device, staying informed about your fitness has never been easier!
The inHealth app connects through Apple Health (iPhone) and Health Connect (Android). If your device syncs with one of these health hubs, your steps and activity will sync automatically with inHealth. This includes the following:
Smartphones
Smartwatches
Fitness Bands & Trackers
Important Note: The inHealth app connects through Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android)—not directly to device apps. Make sure your device’s app (Fitbit, Garmin, etc.) is linked to Apple Health or Health Connect. Once connected, your steps and activity will sync automatically with the inHealth: Wellbeing app, even if your device isn’t listed above.
To review or change sharing permissions:
List not exhaustive. If your device shares steps with Apple Health or Health Connect, it should work with inHealth.
If your data isn’t syncing as expected, check these common causes:
Note: The app automatically syncs every 12 hours when you log in. It only pulls complete data up to the previous day. You can refresh anytime by returning to the Tracking tab and selecting Connect Device.
Still having trouble?
If your data still isn’t syncing after trying these steps, try logging out and back into the inHealth app, then open the Tracking tab and tap Connect Device to manually refresh your connection.
If issues continue, confirm that your source app (Apple Health, Google Fit, or Samsung Health) shows recent data.
