Now that you’ve connected your Google Fit to Health Connect, learn how to sync steps, distance, and active minutes to Wellbeing+. We’ll also show you how to make sure you’ve got data available to sync.

The Syncing Process

To sync to Wellbeing+ :

  1. Open the Google Fit app on your phone.

  2. Navigate to the Journal tab, which is usually found at the bottom of the screen.

  3. At the top of the Journal screen, you will see a sync icon, which typically looks like two circular arrows.

  4. Tap this sync icon to manually force the app to sync with Google's servers.

This action prompts Google Fit to fetch the latest available data from all its sources (your phone's sensors, connected smartwatches like Wear OS watch, etc.) and update your activity log.

Once you’ve refreshed the Google Fit app, open your Wellbeing+ app and wait to see a ‘Last synced:' message to confirm that you’ve synced to Wellbeing+.

We recommend syncing by refreshing your Google Fit totals and then opening the Wellbeing+ app at least once a day during your challenge.
