Do you have a Huawei watch/band and want every step to count on Macadam?
Since Macadam doesn't connect directly to the watch's data, we use a "bridge" approach. By syncing your Huawei to your phone’s health ecosystem, Macadam can automatically pick up your steps.
Here is your step-by-step guide.
For iPhone Users (iOS)
To connect your Huawei watch to the Apple Health app, you need to authorize data sharing from the settings within the HUAWEI Health app. The synchronization does not happen directly from the watch but rather through Huawei's mobile application.
Step 1: Pair the watch with the iPhone.
Download and open the HUAWEI Health app from the App Store.
Log in using your Huawei ID.
Go to the Devices tab, tap Add, and select your watch model to complete the Bluetooth pairing.
Step 2: Enable sharing with Apple Health
In the HUAWEI Health app, go to the Me (your profile) tab in the bottom right corner.
Scroll down and select Settings.
Tap Data Sharing.
Select Apple Health from the list.
An iOS system pop-up window will open. Tap Turn On All and confirm in the top right corner.
Step 3: Manage priorities in Apple Health (If data is not displaying)
If your steps or workouts are not syncing correctly, Apple Health might be giving priority to your iPhone's internal sensors.
Open the Apple Health app.
Go to a data category (Steps).
Scroll down and tap Data Sources & Access.
Tap Edit in the top right corner, then drag HUAWEI Health to the very top of the list to give it highest priority.
💡 Note: If some workouts don't sync, open HUAWEI Health to force the sync to Apple Health.
For Android Users
Macadam allows you to choose your data source. Please select the Health Connect step source first.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Install the required apps: Ensure the HUAWEI Health app is installed and correctly paired with your watch. Then, download and install the Health Connect app from the Google Play Store.
Connect to Health Connect: in HUAWEI Health, choose Health Connect when you are asked for the target app.
Grant permissions: follow the on-screen instructions to allow Health Connect to read your Huawei Health data.
