Apple Health to Google Fit or Health Connect: What Works

By Josep Mampel Marques, updated November 11, 2026

There is no official way to import an Apple Health export into Google Fit, Health Connect or Samsung Health. Health Connect on Android is filled by apps that you allow to write data, and Google's help for it does not describe importing a file. What you can do is keep your history in open formats: convert the Apple Health export.zip to one CSV per metric and one FIT file per workout with FitMigrate, then keep those as your archive or upload the workouts to a service that accepts FIT files. FitMigrate does not write to Health Connect.

What Health Connect is, and what it is not

Google describes Health Connect as a single app for managing your fitness and health app connections and data. You open it, go to App permissions and turn on the apps you want to sync with it. Your data is stored locally on your device. The help page lists no file import, so Apple's export cannot simply be dropped into it.

Health Connect also limits how far back an app can read. Google's developer documentation says that, by default, an app can read data for up to 30 days before the date a permission was first granted, unless the app asks for the history permission. So even apps that do sync tend to start with a short window unless they request more.

Google Fit in 2026

Google's developer page for the Fit APIs says they will be deprecated in 2026 and that developers could not sign up for them from May 1, 2024. It points Android apps to Health Connect and cloud integrations to the Google Health API. If you were hoping to load Apple data into Google Fit, that is a poor target to aim for now. We did not check what happens to the Google Fit app itself, so look at Google's current notices before relying on it.

Samsung Health

Samsung's developer FAQ says Samsung Health has synchronized with Health Connect since version 6.22.5 (October 2022), with activity data such as steps and exercise, heart rate and sleep. The sync goes through permissions you grant in Health Connect. That helps data move between Android apps. It does not read an Apple Health export, and Samsung's FAQ says nothing about how much history syncs.

What you can do with your Apple data

Goal	Practical route
Keep all your numbers	Export from Health, then use FitMigrate to make a CSV for each metric (steps, heart rate, sleep, weight and so on).
Keep your workouts with routes	Make FIT files from the workouts. They carry the GPS route, heart rate, distance and calories when Apple recorded them.
Keep using a training service	Upload the FIT files to a service that accepts them, such as Garmin Connect or Strava.
Live sync on Android	Not possible from the export. New data has to come from the watch or app you now use.

Steps

On your iPhone open Health, tap your picture and choose Export All Health Data. See how to export all Apple Health data.
Copy the export.zip to a computer and open it in FitMigrate.
Under Metrics to CSV tick what you want and click Download selected as CSV. Open the files with the help of this CSV guide.
Click Download all workouts as FIT (zip) for workouts that have a route or heart rate. Which format to use is explained in GPX or FIT for Apple Watch workouts.

If you are going to Fitbit instead

Google's help center for the Google Health app describes connecting Apple Health directly, which is a different situation from Health Connect on Android. See Apple Health to Fitbit and Google Health.

Limits to know

FitMigrate reads the export and writes files in your browser. It never touches Health Connect, Google Fit or Samsung Health.
Nothing is uploaded. Your records stay on your device while the files are made.
CSV values are copied as Apple stored them. The tool does not interpret them.
The export is a snapshot from the day you made it. Newer data needs a new export.

FAQ

Can I import my Apple Health export.zip into Health Connect?

We found no import feature for it. Google's Health Connect help describes apps that read and write data and does not mention importing files. An app on your Android phone would have to write your records into Health Connect.

Is Google Fit being shut down?

Google's developer page says the Google Fit APIs will be deprecated in 2026 and that new developers could not sign up from May 1, 2024. It points to Health Connect for Android apps and to the Google Health API for cloud integrations.

Will my Apple Watch workouts show up in Samsung Health if I move to a Galaxy phone?

Not by themselves. Samsung Health syncs with Health Connect, but nothing in that sync reads an Apple Health export. Keep your export.zip and convert workouts to FIT or metrics to CSV for your own archive.
