Health Connect is exclusive to Android and Google Play. Users can access Health
Connect in two ways:
As part of the Android system starting in Android 14, which is accessible in
Settings.
As a publicly available app on the Google Play Store in Android 13 or lower
versions that are supported.
Android 14 framework
Health Connect is packaged with Android 14 as part of the Android system, which
means you cannot uninstall it from a device.
Entry points
On Android 14, users access Health Connect app permissions and data in the
following ways:
Go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Health Connect.
Go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Privacy dashboard >
(see other permissions) > Health Connect.
Go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Permission manager >
Health Connect.
Android 13 APK
The Health Connect app was launched on the Google Play Store on
November 11, 2022.
Once third-party developers integrate their apps and
declare access to the Health Connect APIs and data types, their apps
can read, write, and share approved data types from the user's on-device store.
Check out the migration guide for guidance on how data is migrated
between the APK and the framework model once users make the switch from
Android 13 to Android 14.
