❓ Frequently Asked Questions
“I connected my app to Health Connect, but Headlamp isn’t showing any data. What should I do?”
Make sure Health Connect has permission to read data from your health app (like Google Fit or Samsung Health) and that Headlamp has permission to read from Health Connect. You can double-check permissions in the Health Connect app under “App permissions.”
“I don’t see ‘Health Connect’ in my app settings. Where can I find it?”
Health Connect is a separate system app by Google. If you don’t see it, try installing it from the Play Store. Once installed, apps that support it (like Headlamp) will recognise it automatically.
“Can I choose what data to share with Headlamp?”
Yes! When you set up Health Connect permissions, you can choose which types of data (like steps, sleep, or calories) Headlamp can access. You can update this anytime in the Health Connect app.
“I use more than one health app — will Headlamp get duplicate data?”
Nope! Health Connect smartly manages data from multiple sources and removes duplicates when syncing with apps like Headlamp. You’ll get the most accurate version of your health stats.
“Why is my step count or sleep data missing or incomplete?”
There could be a delay in syncing, or the app you’re using (like Google Fit or Samsung Health) may not have recorded data yet. Make sure:The app is synced with your wearable
