Apple Health Converge App Sync Data.png

This guide will help you understand how to sync Apple Health data from your wearable or iPhone to the Converge International App.

The Apple Health collects data from compatible wearables and devices, such as the Apple Watch or iPhone.

When you give the Converge International App permission to view some or all of that data from the Apple Health, it's used in our App for Move challenges participation or activity and your personalised wellbeing metrics within the App.

Once you have completed registration in the Converge International App, you can permit the App to access data from Apple Health, including steps from your iPhone and activity and/or steps from your Apple Watch.
