On Android, Macadam allows you to choose your data source. Please select the Health Connect step source first.
To sync Samsung Health with Health Connect:
Open the Samsung Health app, tap the three dots in the top right corner, and select Settings.
Tap Health Connect, then go to App Permissions and select Samsung Health.
Choose Allow all to grant all permissions.
Step-by-Step instructions
Ensure Health Connect is Installed: On older Android versions, install the Health Connect by Android app. Starting with Android 14, it is built directly into your phone’s system settings.
Grant App Permissions: Inside Samsung Health, navigate to Settings > Health Connect. Tap App permissions -> Samsung Health, and toggle ON the data you wish to sync or select Allow all.
Turn on Auto-Sync: Return to the main Samsung Health menu, go to Settings, and tap Turn on Auto-sync.
Enable Privacy Consents: Scroll down to the bottom of Samsung Health's Settings and tap Privacy. Ensure Consent to the Processing of Health and Wellness Data is toggled ON.
🛠️ Advanced Troubleshooting
If your data is not passing through to Health Connect:
The Privacy Reset: In Samsung Health > Settings > Privacy, toggle the Health data consent OFF, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back ON to re-establish the connection.
Physical Activity Permissions: Go to your phone's main Settings > Apps > Samsung Health > Permissions and ensure Physical Activity is explicitly allowed.
Battery Restrictions: Go to Settings > Apps > Samsung Health > Battery, and set Macadam and Samsung Health to unrestricted to prevent Android from putting the background sync to sleep.
Data Priority: If you have multiple health apps writing data, open Health Connect, go to Data and access > [Activity Type] > Data sources & priority, and drag Samsung Health to the top of the list.
