Manually Enter Steps to Samsung Health

Members_WbrlfYB — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 14:41:28 GMT

Hi guys,

I am facing with one problem - Samsung Health doesn't add steps when I'm adding my exercise manually.

My Samsung phone got broken, it was fixed within 3 days. I was tracking my steps and exercises via smart watch (non-Samsung). Now I want to add all the workouts and steps to the Samsung health app. This is my primary source of data, I want to keep everything there.

However, when I add, for example, Running exercise, the system doesn't add any single step. It doesn't make any sense. Also, there is no option to add "steps' as unit. Also-2, Samsung health can't be synchronized with any non-Samsung device.

Is there any solution here?

What watch are you using? You can connect certain fitness apps like fitbit and strava to samsung health and it will sync exercise.

I use health sync however or apperently Samsung does not allow 3rd parties to "add" steps, in other words they are saying... You have to have Galaxy watch, I kind of get Samsung's business theory

However once registered the steps via the watch, I think that can be edited

Health Sync app can synchronise all information from other devices to Samsung...... Except... You guess it..

I use Honor MagicWatch 2 and, of course, they are not compatible with my Galaxy Note.

There is no way to connect Strava so it passes the data TO the Samsung phone. Connection works in one-way direction only: Samsung Health -> Strava.

Yeah, I know about third parties.

So the question is how to add steps manually if for some reasons phone wasn't with you?

This drives me crazy too. Why can't we add the steps?? It means my green 10000 steps or more won't make it today. Really annoying.

Yes! All other apps have manual add for steps. I can manually add activities but it won't add in the steps? Only the calories and km? Bizarre.

I simply cannot believe that this is still an issue. Someone as big as Samsung putting out awesome devices, but then missing on such a crucial and necessary option. Thining about returning my Galaxy Watch. My device, my choice what I want to sync.

It's crazily annoying, my phone had software update issue so I couldn't do anything with my phone all through yesterday. I just got it fixed and discovered my 17,000 steps of yesterday cant be added manually after resetting the whole watch and phone. Even you can manually either steps on apple iPhone and ipad.
