Google Health can now sync to Apple Health

Google Health just got an important update for people deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem. The latest version of the app on iOS adds the ability to sync data from Google Health directly to Apple Health, so now iPhone users can easily monitor their fitness info using a Fitbit tracker (like the new Fitbit Air) without having to interact as much with Google’s software.

As spotted by user posting_purple on Reddit, version 5.05 of the Google Health app for iOS enables syncing a bunch of different metrics from Google Health to Apple Health, including sleep data, steps, and more. One unsupported metric might be a deal-breaker for dedicated fitness buffs, but if you just want to check how many steps your Fitbit logged from inside Apple Health, that’s now possible.
