Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 as data source on Apple Health

[G5]

How do I get my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 to be recognized as a data source in the Apple Health App?

Hi @G5,

From the apple website: 

1. Pair your Galaxy Watch3 with your iPhone if you have not already: Pair a third-party Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
2. Download Samsung's Gear companion app from the iOS App Store: ‎https://apple.co/2mspWsU
3. When you install and set up the companion app, your iPhone should automatically ask if you want to allow it to share data with the Health app per Collect health and fitness data on iPhone - Apple Support.

It seems like this is not possible anymore? I can’t set my active watch 2 as source for apple health, the only possibility I have is to set apple health steps and workout data as source for Samsung health (and I have the feeling some steps are counted double if I use both my watch and iPhone). The app maker says it is not possible due to compatibility reasons but reading this post from last year, it looks like it was possible a few updates ago?
