Garmin Connect doesn't read steps from iOS health

Former Member over 4 years ago

From what I've been reading, Garmin Connect should be able to read from iOS Health but I can't get it to work.

Garmin Connect is showing up as Data Source under Steps but not as an app allowed to read.

Am I missing something?

You can't send iOS Health data to Garmin, but the other way around works.

That's pity. I only use my Garmin device when I'm out running or cykling.

Is there a workaround to get my steps registred by my iPhone imorted to Garmin Connect?

I haven't tested it but it might be possible to import some data.

It says "Fitbit® body or activity data (.xls, .xlsx or .csv format). Learn More"

Convert your data to the correct format and then you can import at least some of it.

DC Rainmaker did a test in 2016, but it seems like the steps didn't import. It was 4 years ago so it might have changed.

It's more that Garmin won't read the data, it's Garmin's choice not to.

I've looked for a solution, but never found one. I only use my watch for cycling or hiking. Otherwise, vastly prefer the apple watch day to day.
