- The Health Connect app has added a backup and restore menu in its latest update.
- Health Connect’s backup and restore menu lets you export your health and fitness data to Google Drive or other cloud providers.
- This feature is available in the latest version of Health Connect, but it doesn’t seem to work yet.
Given how much data we carry on our phones these days, it’s really important to back up your Android phone so you don’t lose a lot of important information if something happens to it. Unfortunately, if you use Google Health Connect to aggregate all your health and fitness data in one place, then there isn’t a way to back up or restore that data. At least, not until the most recent update of Health Connect.
Google has finally rolled out an update to Health Connect that adds a backup and restore feature. This means if you lose your phone or buy a new one, you can carry over all the health and fitness data you’ve stored with Health Connect. Depending on how long you’ve been sharing data with the app, that could be a lot of data that contains valuable insight on your wellness journey.
