Auto-Upload on Android — Overview
Connect your wearable to NestEgg on Android. Most devices sync through Google Health Connect — except Fitbit, which connects directly.
Auto-Upload on Android
Set it up once — takes about 5 minutes. After that, your workouts appear in NestEgg automatically.
How It Works on Android
On Android, NestEgg reads workout data from Google Health Connect. Your wearable’s companion app writes data to Health Connect, and NestEgg reads it from there:
Your Wearable → Companion App → Health Connect → NestEggFitbit is the exception — it connects directly to NestEgg via secure sign-in, not through Health Connect.
How to Access Auto-Upload
Before selecting your device below, navigate to the auto-upload screen in the NestEgg app:
- Open the NestEgg app.

Connecting to Health Connect
Regardless of your device, the next step is always the same: grant NestEgg permission to read from Health Connect.
- Tap Connect to Health Connect in the NestEgg app.
- When the Health Connect permission screen appears, tap Allow all.
- Check that all toggles are blue (ON) — Exercise and Heart Rate.
- Tap Allow.
- Tap Allow again for background access.
After that, the remaining steps are device-specific — follow the guide for your wearable.
Health Connect Not Installed?
Health Connect is built into Android 14+. On older Android versions, install Health Connect from the Google Play Store before starting setup.
Troubleshooting
Workouts aren’t appearing in NestEgg.
- Open your wearable’s companion app and confirm you have at least one recent workout.
- In Health Connect → App permissions, check that both your wearable app AND NestEgg Health have permissions turned ON.
- In NestEgg → Workouts, pull down to refresh.
- Health Connect sometimes takes a minute or two to sync.
- Still nothing? Restart your phone — this clears most background sync issues.
