Goals and Challenges - Syncing Step Count From the Huawei Health App to the Engage App

Overview

This guide is intended for members who want to learn how to pull steps from the Huawei Health app into the Engage app from an iPhone. 

About Huawei Devices

We do not connect directly to Huawei devices, but we should be able to pull your steps into Engage if your Huawei Health app can share data with Apple Health. This is because Engage pulls in steps from the Apple Health app, so any steps that are showing in Apple Health should sync to Engage.

How To Link Huawei Health To Apple Health

When you first download the Huawei Health App from the Apple App Store, you'll see this prompt to connect Huawei Health to HealthKit:

You'll just need to tap Let's go > Turn All Categories On > Allow. 

Your Huawei Health app should now be connected to Apple Health!

If you didn't connect to Apple Health upon the initial sign up process in the Huawei Health app, you can still connect the Huawei Health app in the Apple Health app:

> Open the Health app > tap Today's step count > scroll to the bottom and tap Data Sources & Access > make sure the Huawei Health app listed under Apps Allowed to Read Data is toggled On or green.

Connecting Apple Health To Engage

Once your steps are showing correctly in the Apple Health app, you can connect the Apple Health app to Engage.

Syncing Your Steps To Engage

Once you've successfully linked your Huawei app to Apple Health and connected the Apple Health app to Engage, please sync your Huawei band to the Huawei Health app first to make sure steps are showing correctly there.

Then, open Apple Health to allow steps from Huawei Health to pull into Apple Health. Once steps are showing correctly in Apple Health, open Engage to allow steps from Apple Health to sync.
