Health Sync Support
Stridekick cannot guarantee that Health Sync will always reliably sync steps from Samsung Health to Google Fit. As your data is being transferred between a few different apps it is possible that some data will get lost along the way. We can only sync the steps, distance, and active minutes data that are showing in the Google Fit app on your phone.
Health Sync recently shared that after June 30, 2020, steps data can't be synced into Samsung Health. This does not appear to impact the ability for Health Sync to pull steps from Samsung Health into Google Fit as shown above.
