Google Health Connect is Android’s new way to keep all your health and fitness data in one place. It acts as a central hub, allowing apps to securely share information like weight, activity, and nutrition — all with your permission.


What Data is Synced

To view what data is synced view our Third-party integrations article.


How to Enable the Integration

  1. Open Settings > Integrations in Carbon.

  2. Tap Google Health Connect.

  3. Tap Allow Access to grant permissions.

  4. To change permissions later, tap Open Health Connect settings, then tap App permissions, tap Carbon, then manage your permissions.

Note: Syncing starts from the day you enable it. You can change the Starting date from within Carbon.


Permissions we request & why

We only request the permissions needed for Carbon to work as described.

Allow Carbon to Read

  • Weight Required to import your weight. Also required to pair with body fat so we can calculate lean body mass.

  • Body Fat Optional but recommended if you want body fat imported. (Carbon only imports body fat when a weight is logged at the same time.)

Allow Carbon to Write

  • NutritionRequired if you want Carbon to share your diary (energy, macros, and available micronutrients) with Apple Health so other apps you allow can read it.

Where to manage:

Health Connect → App permissionsCarbon → toggle Read/Write for the items above.


Troubleshooting
