Google fit is an Android app developed by Google which allows smart phone users to collect and show their health and fitness activities via supported wearables. However, most of the popular wearables out there are made by Samsung which presents a bit of a problem. You see, Samsung smart phones have their own health and fitness app called S Health which is available on the Google Play store. As you might already guessed, Samsung wearables have been configured to sync their health data to only the S health app and as such won’t sync its data to any other app.
This has forced some users of the Samsung wearables who want to track their health and fitness data to download S health. However, not everyone fancies the look and layout of the Samsung S Health and prefers Google Fit App instead which i must add easily snycs to your Google account. Anyway, using a third-party app, you can be able to Sync your S Health Data to Google’s Fit App. To do that, you’ll need to follow the steps below.
