Syncing Huawei Health app to Android Sumsung Health

To sync Huawei Health with Samsung Health, you’ll need to use a third-party app like Health Sync—there’s no native integration built into either app.

What You Can and Can’t Sync

According to users and official docs:

  • Health Sync can transfer heart rate, sleep, oxygen saturation, and workout activities (including GPS tracked runs/rides) from Huawei Health → Samsung Health
  • Steps data cannot be written into Samsung Health; Samsung restricted this in 2020, so steps will not sync over

Step‑by‑Step Instructions Using Health Sync

  1. Install Huawei Health on your Android phone (via AppGallery or official source).
  2. Sign in with your Huawei ID and enable Huawei Health Kit in Settings → Privacy/Data sharing
  3. Download Health Sync from Google Play.
  4. Launch Health Sync and select: makefileCopyEditSource: Huawei Health Destination: Samsung Health
  5. Grant all required permissions in both Huawei and Samsung apps.
  6. Activate both “Historical data sync” (if you want past data) and routine background sync.
    • Users report historical sync proceeds in blocks of ~2–3 weeks at a time (every ~15 minutes) until fully transferred
  7. After setup, tap Sync in Health Sync to begin. Check sync status in the app.

Important Notes

  • Steps cannot be synced into Samsung Health due to Samsung restrictions—even if Health Sync shows “Sync OK”
  • As of July 2023, Huawei declared that third-party apps may be blocked from accessing GPS from Huawei Health. While this hasn’t been strictly enforced yet, syncing GPS data might be affected in the future.
  • A one-week trial of Health Sync is free, after that a one-time payment or a subscription is required to continue syncing or enable historical data syncing
