Google Fit has been deprecated in Android beta. Apps have to use Health Connect. Garmin suddenly worked out of the box (never worked with Google Fit and required side paid application for sync – Health Sync).

First time Google made things better by killing it's own app

#GoogleFit #HealthConnect #HealthSync #Garmin

Die Logik hinter der neuen Fitbit-Integration muss man nicht verstehen, oder @schlingel ? 🤨

Meine Beurer-Waage synct das Gewicht perfekt via HealthConnect zu Fitbit. Aber: Auf dem „Heute“-Dashboard taucht der Wert nicht auf. Dort werden stur nur manuelle Einträge angezeigt.

Wer die Daten sehen will, muss tief im „Du“-Tab graben. Warum macht Google die zentrale Übersicht so unbrauchbar? Datensilos einreißen sieht anders aus. ❌

While in big tech #enshittification continues full force, I am stoked that support for write access to #HealthConnect in #Android has just been merged in @gadgetbridge nightly builds. Works great already. Fixes and fine-tuning are already in the making.

And as a cherry on top this (unrelated) minor nuisance just got addresed:

Love you guys - great work and as a user it is fantastic to have options. I get Health Connect is not for everybody, but there also is a ton of legit and great use-cases that allows users to make the most out of their
#Health data.

Google hat jetzt vier Fitness-Apps: Google Fit, Fitbit, Health Connect und Gemini Health Coach (Übersicht)

Seit weit über einem halben Jahrzehnt baut Google den Fitnessbereich um. Aktuell könnte es kaum weniger übersichtlich sein.

@MishaalRahman does that mean #HealthConnect on #Android can finally be opened from app view and not only via system settings search? 🤯 🥴
Android: Google Health Connect wird umgebaut - vom reinen Datenspeicher zum Datensammler (Teardown)

Google Health Connect ist eigentlich ein Datenspeicher für Fitness-Apps. Doch jetzt steht der Umbau an, die App soll selbst Daten sammeln.

Oooo finally Garmin has enabled Health Connect integration! I just did it and it seems to have uploaded about a week's worth of data to Google Fit. Walks, workouts, runs, and sleep all there. And it seems to have avoided double inputs from my Garmin watch and my phone, so that's good. I previously had a third party app doing this, so I turned that off and I'll test the integration.
