How do I connect the app with Apple Health or Google Health Connect?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The Steptember app manually syncs with Apple Health (iOS users) or Google Health Connect (Android users). So first, make sure you connect your wearable e.g. Garmin with Apple Health or Fitbit with Google Health Connect.

Then, in your Steptember app account, select 'LOG STEPS' and choose 'Sync from Apple Health' or 'Sync from Google Health Connect'.

If you are recording your steps or activity any other way, then you will need to add your daily steps and activity manually.
