UPDATE FROM SUPPORT:  Manually added activities in Strava do not sync to Google Fit.  Only GPS based activities are sent.  Apologies for any confusion.

Still doesn't work for me using most recent version.

I still need to edit the activity on Strava in order to trigger the sync action to Google Fit.

Hi,

I did some test and this is not working for all activities. I can't see any HIIT sessions synced (manually added or recorded) but can see Yoga session manually added...

Hello @NJoco 

If you are having difficulties with activities syncing from Strava to Google fit there are a few things you can try:

  • First, open your Strava app on your mobile device and go to the "You" Feed. Scroll through your recent activities to make sure they are loaded and displayed on your feed.
  • Then, open your Google Fit app on your mobile device and go to the Journal tab. On the Journal tab tap on the refresh button in the top right corner. It may take a few moments for the activities to appear on the Google Fit history.

If you find that your activity has not synced to Google Fit after using the steps above, it will be necessary to edit the activity on Strava in order to trigger the sync action. Once you save the activity again it should push over to Google Fit.

I'm having issues with Strava syncing with Google Fit (Android); if I manually edit an activity, as you suggest, it's pushed correctly to GF, but I would rather not have to do this, as it rather defeats the object of having supposedly seamless app integration. Do you have any idea what might be causing this, and/or how it might be fixed, please?

Hi Jane,
I tried this workaround and many others what I found on the community forum, none of them helped 😞

I tried switch the sync off and on, I tried to delete and re-register fit connection, even I tried re-install both apps, still no success...

I use another app with the same user, it can sync with Fit easily without any black magic, so i assume the problem is not with on Fit side. 

If you have any further idea please let me know. 

Does anyone else have the similar problem or only I'm the lucky one?

Yes, I keep getting a 404 error when trying to verify that Strava is connected to Fit. I can see it activated in Strava.
