Syncing Huawei Health app to Android phone

Install Huawei Health App
- Download it from the Huawei App Gallery (some features may not work with Google Play versions).
- If not yet installed, you may need to install Huawei App Gallery first.
Create or Sign In to Huawei ID
- Open the app and sign in or register for a Huawei ID.
- This is essential for syncing data across devices and using cloud backup.
- If you are unable to do this part due to restrictions in the USA, then you may progress through the Create ID portion, using another country when asked.
Pair Your Device
- Open the Huawei Health app.
- Go to Devices → Add → Select your device (e.g., Band, Watch, Scale).
- Make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete pairing.
Grant Permissions
- Allow all necessary permissions: Bluetooth, location, storage, activity recognition, etc.
- Go to Settings → Apps → Huawei Health → Permissions, and ensure all are allowed.
Enable Background Activity
- To ensure continuous syncing:
  - Go to Settings → Battery → App launch (or Background App Management).
  - Allow Huawei Health to run in the background and auto-launch, or in the battery settings, change Huawei Health app and related health apps to non restrictive energy usage.
Sync Manually (if needed)
- In the app, go to your device → Tap Sync.
- Make sure the phone and wearable are close and connected.

If you want to sync Huawei Health data to Google Fit:

Download Health Sync from the Play Store.
Open Health Sync and choose Huawei Health → Google Fit as the sync direction.
Follow the guided setup steps to authorize access.
Health Sync will auto-transfer data like steps, sleep, and heart rate.

Restart both phone and wearable if syncing stalls.
Make sure the app is updated to the latest version.
If on a non-Huawei phone, sideload the latest Huawei Health via AppGallery for full compatibility.
