Sync Your Health Apps & Get Rewarded: Health Connect | Setup Guide for CHOYS

📲 Setting Up Health Connect on Android

If you’re using Android to track your health, Health Connect acts as the bridge that syncs your fitness data across different apps—so CHOYS can reward you not just for steps, but for cycling, workouts, yoga, and more.

🆕 Starting Android 14, Health Connect is built-in to the system.
For Android 13 and below, you need to install it manually:
👉 Download Health Connect on Play Store

✅ How to Set Up Health Connect

1. Install Health Connect (Android 13 and below)
   1. Go to Play Store → Search Health Connect → Tap Install
2. Install a Fitness Tracking App
   1. Use a third-party app like Google Fit, Samsung Health, or similar to record your fitness activity.
3. Check Health Connect Permissions & Data Sources
   1. Go to Settings > Apps > Health Connect > App permissions
   2. Ensure CHOYS and any third-party fitness app (e.g., Google Fit, Samsung Health, etc.) have permission to read and write:
      1. Steps
      2. Workouts / Exercise sessions
      3. Cycling distance

4. Grant CHOYS Permission to Read Data
