The Activity tab is your one-stop shop for all things progress-related in the Sweat app. See how you’re tracking against your weekly goals, see how you’re progressing through your current program and keep an eye on your workout streaks and impressive collection of workout badges!
You can also use the Activity tab to track the metrics that matter - such as your daily steps, distance and hydration goals - in one place.
Within the Activity tab, the Today row will display Steps, Distance, Water and Calories
If you haven’t provided permissions to a metric, the card will show a “-”
To connect Sweat to your phone’s health metrics, follow the instructions below specific to your device:
iOS
1. Go to Settings > find and select Health
2. Select Data Access & Devices
3. Select SWEAT > Tap "Turn All Categories On"
Android
Your data will need to be sync'd to Health Connect. Health Connect is a hub for your health data, apps can write data to it, and other apps can then read that data. To install and set up Health Connect, please see the following instructions based on the version of software you are running:
Android 14+
Android 14 and above have Health Connect already installed with the device, and it will be available in Settings, but to navigate to it will vary for different devices.
Pixel devices: Security and privacy > Privacy Controls > Health Connect
Samsung Galaxy devices: Security and privacy > More privacy settings > Health Connect
If you cannot find Health Connect in the settings, it’s easiest to search
Open the Health Connect app and complete the initial set up
Android 9-13
Android 9 to 13 will need to install the Health Connect app from the Google Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.healthdata&hl=en_AU
Once installed, open Health Connect from the app info screen. There is no app icon for Health Connect and it will not appear in your app tray.
Settings > Apps > Health Connect > Tap Open
Open the Health Connect app and complete the initial set up
IMPORTANT: Sweat highly recommends that you only allow one app to write per data type. Allowing multiple apps to write the same data type may cause duplicated data and inaccurate reporting.
Android Configure Sweat App
Within the Activity tab, the Today row will display Steps, Distance, Water and Calories
If you haven’t provided permissions to a metric, the card will show a “-”
- Tap any card without permissions to launch the permissions screen, and select Allow Health Access
- Select the Read and Write permissions you want to allow Sweat. Whichever Read value you don’t select, the Sweat app will display a “-” for that data.
- If you have denied permissions before, we are not allowed to present it to you again. In this case, you will need to open the Health Connect app (see above) and allow permission manually.
How do I change my step, water or distance goals?
Once you have activated your Steps, Water or Distance, you can update the goal you would like to aim for each day. You can change your goal by clicking on the desired tile (Steps, Water or Distance), then select the pen icon and enter your desired step goal
What is an ideal step goal?
If you're unsure on what to set your daily step goal to, a great starting point is 10,000. Through various studies performed around the world, the average adult takes 3,000-4,000 per day. A 30-minute walk (LISS) can increase your steps by another 3,000-4,000. If you can't hit 10.000 per day, reduce to 8,000 and start there.
