How to submit steps with Samsung Health?
Health Connect is the recommended way to obtain data from Samsung health (both Samsung phones and watches). Note that we can only obtain data if Health Connect is installed on the phone.
Health Connect is built in from Android 14. If you have an older version, you need to use Google Fit.
- Ensure that you are using at least Android 14
