I have been very frustrated trying to get an accurate record of steps in the Google Fit app. I have only one device, a Fitbit Sense watch, which counts my steps, and I have disactivated activity tracking in the Google Fit app. I have specified that Fit can receive steps data from another app. However, Google Fit always has a considerably lower number of steps. The difference is not consistent; it can be 70% to 80% of what the watch records. It is always lower. The watch transmits the steps accurately to another app, so the fault cannot lie with the Fitbit Sense app. I noticed that in the Fit app, the steps are broken down by minutes the walking started. Is Fit consistently rounding down? I want the steps transmitted to Google Fit to be recorded as received, not reworked in any way. I have three apps which show steps; two are in agreement and one is way off. This is not satisfactory.

I've recently noticed that the Google Fit app has been *extremely* off when recording OR importing activity, but especially importing. I tracked several walks recently where my watch (Fossil Q Explorist) would report almost exactly with another app on my phone (Strava) in terms of distance, time, and steps (see screenshots). However, when this activity is imported into Google Fit (in this case, presumably from the watch, but it's occurred just with Strava imports as well), the distance and step counts are *much* lower, roughly 60% or less in some cases. Does anyone know what the cause is or how to fix this? I wouldn't be so miffed, but 1. This is a widely used application run by a company with plenty of resources 2. I can't find bunches of other people with this problem 3. Google Fit is my only tracking option to earn $$ from my health insurance, so taking 15k steps to earn 10k is pretty annoying 4. Google Fit has even retconned itself and changed activities again afterward (screenshot included) 5. I feel like I've tried everything, including: - uninstall/reinstall the app - sign out/back in - wipe data - enable all permissions for Google Fit - track with other apps to ensure accuracy - import from another Google Fit device (watch) Pixel 6 Pro, Android 13, Fossil Q Explorist (most recent update) ||| |-|-|-| |**Strava**|**Google Fit (almost immediately after finishing activity)**|**Google Fit, viewing the same activity the next day**| |||| |-|-|-| |**Fossil Q Explorist 1**|**Fossil Q Explorist 2**|**Fossil Q Explorist 3**|

I have a Pixel watch and a Samsung S22 Ultra. I want to use the Pixel watch as a heart rate monitor source for an app on my phone.. however, when I try to pick a heart rate source the watch doesn't show up. Every web search I do talks about tracking the activity using a watch app.. but i don't want to do this, because it kills the already abysmal battery life. Is there some way to use the Pixel watch as a connected heart monitor only?

I have used Google Fit on my Android phone for a while, and recently switched to the iPhone. How do I import my step counts and other fitness data into Apple Health on the iPhone from Google Fit? Are there cross-platform cloud services that store this data in the cloud and have both iOS and Android clients so that I don't have this problem again the next time I switch phones? I posted the same question on apple.stackexchange.com to get answers from iOS users.

I'm using google fit to track my walking distance for pokemon go, and I'm not sure if I need to make it "never sleep" or not allow it to be optimized for it to work well in the background. Does sleeping apps save that much battery? Should I allow google fit to never sleep or optimized for battery for it to work well? Is it worth putting it to never sleep if it doesn't take up that much battery?

I have Garmin Swim 2. On my Pixel 3A XL installed Garmin Connect , it works fine. But I want also see data on Google Fit . Unfortunately Garmin Swim 2 doesn't connect with Google Fit and I need to install third party app do this. I installed Health Sync . Look like it's working: But I don't see any activities in Google Fit where I didn't have my phone with me, for example swimming, sleep and so on. On Garmin Forum I found the following: > in Settings of Google Fit, under Tracking Preferences, Turn off " > Track your activities" Use Phone sensors to automatically track > metrics like steps and distance. Okay, I did this, but it didn't help. What I should do to sync Garmin Connect with Google Fit?

I can't figure out how to view distances in Google Fit. When I walk, it only shows steps and duration. Is it possible to see the distance? How?

I have the latest firmware update, and I'm using it with 2 SIMs; Sim #1 is a Google-Fi on roaming, and Sim #2 is the local default sim. I choose SIM 2 to be the default for everything (calls, SMSs, and data). However, I kept seeing the mobile for some reason switches the data to SIM 1, however, I disabled *data roaming*, and surprisingly, the mobile still randomly changes to SIM 1 (Google Fi) and also consume data!!

Hi Android enthusiasts ! I'm developing an app that read Google Fit OS layer data (local data written on the phone, not Google Fit application itself). Does phone's steps sensor natively write daily steps count to Google Fit API or is this only achieved by a tierce application (Google Fit app or any basic pedometer application) ?

Google Fit is an Android app. When you run it, on the first screen they have cards with weight graph and personal records. These cards may be deleted by dragging them side ways. That is how i deleted them. How can I bring them back? I looked through settings menu but card management is not there. Please help. One of the cards namely "Your weight" is returned the next day I deleted it. So far I rated the app as "one star" in Android-Store to send a message to developers that the card management is not that easy to find. If they reply to my review, I'll post it here. Thanks.

I have activity tracking disabled in Google Fit. I have three apps (HabitBull, MyFitnessPal, and Progression) connected to it and I don't believe they've recorded any step data. Google Fit shows 31 miscellaneous steps from yesterday and 639 from today. There isn't an indicator in the app showing where it came from, for example my weight is recorded in Google Fit and shows it came from MyFitnessPal.
