Now that you’ve connected Health Connect, learn how to sync your steps and distance to MoveSpring.

The Syncing Process

To sync with MoveSpring, you just need to open your MoveSpring app and wait to see a ‘Last synced:' message to confirm that you’ve synced.

We recommend syncing by opening the MoveSpring app at least once a day during your challenge.

All MoveSpring challenges have a 72-hour grace period after the challenge ends to give you extra time to sync your final steps, so make sure you sync before the grace period is up!

Where Does MoveSpring Get My Data?

MoveSpring retrieves your activity information from the Health Connect application. When you establish a connection and give permission to an application, it is authorized to view and update steps and distance data in Health Connect. (Note: Active minutes are not supported by Health Connect. Learn more here.)

Once permission is granted, the connected app can retrieve data from the past 30 days and any new data added thereafter. Depending on the permissions you select, apps will transfer data to Health Connect, where it will be stored on your device and shared with MoveSpring. You can learn more about permissions and how they work here.

What if Steps Aren’t Syncing From Health Connect?

If activity data is not appearing in your MoveSpring application or if the data is not synchronizing accurately, please refer to these troubleshooting tips for Health Connect users.
