Strava doesn’t synch with Samsung Health

[Neuza]

I have a Samsung S22 phone and now I bought a Galaxy Watch 6. I was using a Garmin watch to synch my running to Strava and no issues. So I followed the steps to connect Samsung Health to Strava: logged in Samsung Health and went to settings and added Strava as a service to connect to. Then the Strava log in popped and I logged in and authorized the connection within Strava.

The problem is Samsung Health does not show on the Services list, so it seems Strava does not recognize Health as being connected, whereas Health “sees” Strava.

Meanwhile, I tried going for a quick walk with the Samsung watch and it synched to Strava, though the map information is not available. Still, Samsung Health does not show up on Strava’s Services. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

thanks!

Moreover, the problem persists. When I record activities on Strava with my TomTom watch, they take a few days to sync to Samsung health. Since last week no syncing has occurred.

I don't know if the issue is on Strava's or on Samsung's end, but it's a weird issue to have in 2024.

I have had similar issues with a twist:

-samsung health syncs my rides to Strava, but none of my other activities when recorded with my Galaxy 6 watch.

-nothing from strava syncs to Samsung Health.

-Have not tried to run both Apps at the same time for any workout except riding, in which case both platforms record the ride data (and the samsung watch ride data is transfered to strava and the ride shows up duplicated in Strava). Guess i'll check and see if other workouts will duplicate as well. However, running two Apps simultaneously when they are supposed to sync with each other is hardly a reasonable workaround.

Hi sdmm01. 

Please see my other comment with a workaround in order to sync between the two apps. Might help you. 😀

I have the same problem. Strava activities don't show in S Health, I recorded through the strava app on my Samsung watch.

Same problem for me, and it's both ways.

I'm also having the same issue. 

The informative on how to connect your Samsung Galaxy watch with Strava does not work for me. Samsung Health Data does not sync to Strava, making staving useless to me. 

I am yet to find a resolving as to how to sync it. It's driving me nuts! I've followed the instructions over and over again and I'm just going on circles. 

Any advice?

I am also having the exact same problem. The strava instructions do not work.

For me Samsung health doesn't synch to strava anymore since about 9 days ago. Before it worked. The activity shows in Samsung health but doesn't synch to strava. 

Reinstalled all apps, Samsung health, wear and strava. Disconnected all accounts and reconnect again. Nothing seems to work.

This is an ongoing issue for me.  Did you fix your problem?

[djke11]

No. gave up and stopped using strava because of it.
