How to Sync Google Health to Apple Health

Quick Answer

You currently cannot fully sync Google Health to Apple Health. Google's current Apple Health support page says the Google Health app can read data from Apple Health, but it does not write or export Google Health data back to Apple Health. According to Google, they do plan on adding support for writing data back to Apple Health in 2026.

That means the current connection works mostly in this direction:

Apple Health → Google Health

Not this direction yet:

Google Health → Apple Health

If you are trying to view your Apple Health metrics inside your Google dashboard, you can simply toggle on the connection in your app settings. However, if you need to push Google Health, Fitbit or Pixel Watch data into Apple Health, you'll need to bridge the gap using a third-party app like Sonar to unify and sync your metrics across everything.

Can Google Health Sync to Apple Health?

Not in both directions, at least not yet. Google Health can pull your Apple Health data in, but it can't send anything back out. Here's an easier way to understand the current integrations:

A Few Requirements Before Starting

Before connecting Apple Health to the Google Health app, make sure:

• Your iPhone or iPad is connected to the internet

• Your device is running iOS 16.4 or higher

• You are signed in to the Google Health app with your Google Account

Google's App Store listing describes the current iOS app as Google Health, formerly Fitbit, and says it can sync with Fitbit, Pixel Watch, health tracking apps and medical records where supported.

Apple also says you can manage data permissions by going to your profile in the Health app, tapping Apps under Privacy, selecting the app and toggling on the health categories you want that app to track.

If Your Apple Health Data Isn't Showing Up

There's a few common fixes:

• Update the Google Health app to the latest version.

• Try again, make sure you're using your WiFi connection and not cellular.

• Open Apple Health, check the Sharing tab and confirm Google Health still has active read permissions for the categories you expect to see.

• Look for a notification mentioning new data types in either app. Newly added Apple Health categories need a fresh permission grant before they show up in Google Health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can Google Health send data back to Apple Health?

Not yet. As of mid-2026, Google Health only reads data from Apple Health and does not write or export anything back into Apple's Health app. Google has said two-way support is coming later in 2026 but hasn't given a specific date.

Does Health Connect work with Apple Health?

Not directly. Health Connect is Google's Android health data platform and Apple Health is the iPhone equivalent, so they don't talk to each other on their own. Google Health bridges the two separately instead, connecting to Health Connect on Android and to Apple Health on iOS, according to Google's support documentation.

How much Apple Health history shows up after I connect?

Around three months of your past data will sync initially. Google has said it plans to support a longer history window later in 2026, though has yet to confirm an exact timeline.
