One Health Connect to Rule Them All™️

I’m adding a slide for Health Connect because I intend to understand how it will improve once I update to Android 15. Google has been working on migrating from the Google Fit APIs to Android Health, which makes me hopeful for easier cross-app syncing.

Right now, Health Connect is a bit of a mess. I can sync all data with Google Fit, but I’m still confused about how every other third party shares data with one another. I currently use another third-party app to sync health and wellness data everywhere. There are also still limitations between third parties regarding what data can be swapped. The changes to Health Connect in Android 15 should help apps like Samsung Health and Fitbit play better with others. We shall see.
