Android Health Connect Integration

How to Integrate with Android Health Connect in Volt

At Volt, your privacy and control over your data are important to us. With Android Health Connect, we offer seamless integration to enhance your workout experience. Here’s how we use your data:

Recording Volt Workouts: When you complete a workout in the Volt app, we’ll record it in Health Connect. This allows you to track all of your fitness activities in one place, alongside data from other health and fitness apps.

Reading Workouts from Health Connect: Volt can also read workouts you’ve completed using other apps via Health Connect. With your permission, we’ll sync these workouts to your Volt profile, giving you a complete view of your fitness journey in one convenient location.

You can easily sync your workouts between Volt and your Android Health Connect. Follow the steps below to set up and manage this integration.

Prompt for Permissions

Upon logging into the Volt app, or when opening the app while logged in, you’ll be prompted to grant read and write permissions for the Android Health app integration.

Manually Enabling Integration

If you don't receive the prompt:

1. Go to the Settings menu in the Volt app.

2. You'll see toggles for Reading and Writing permissions.

3. Turn these on to enable the integration within Volt.

Note: These toggles only control the integration within the Volt app. You'll still need to manage permissions within your device’s health app.

Managing Permissions in the Android Health Connect

From the Settings menu on your device, you can tap a link to open your device’s health app, where you can enable or disable the integration at the device level. This serves as a fallback if the permissions prompt doesn’t appear.

How does Importing Workouts Work?

Once the integration is enabled in both your device and Volt, new workouts will automatically be imported into Volt as custom activities. Only workouts logged after the integration is enabled will be synced. Historical data will not be imported.

When Does Volt Check for New Workouts?

- Each time you open the Volt Training app while logged in.
- Immediately after logging into the app.
- Exporting Volt Workouts to the Android Health App

Volt activities (excluding custom activities) will be automatically logged in your Android Health app.

How to Enable/Disable Reading and Writing Permissions

To manage your integration settings:

1. Open the Settings menu in the Volt app.
2. Toggle Reading and Writing permissions on or off as needed.
By following these steps, you can sync your workouts smoothly between Volt and the Android Health app.

You Control Your Data

We only access and sync data with your explicit permission, and you can manage or revoke these permissions at any time in your Volt settings or Health Connect settings. Your workout data is securely stored. Refer to our Privacy Policy for additional information on what data Volt collects and how it is used. 

By integrating with Android Health Connect, we aim to provide a comprehensive and personalized workout experience, ensuring that your data is always under your control.
