Linking Google Fit and the Second Nature app
If you would like to use Google Fit to count your steps or track your weight, this data can also be linked to the Second Nature app.
Note: If you're on the NHS referral programme, your account will be set to use the steps coming from an activity tracker. To change this, your account settings will first need to be updated. Please contact Customer Support via the app ('Chat' >> 'Speak to Customer Support') and our support team can do this for you.
To make sure Google Fit is linked to the Second Nature app, please follow these steps:
Go to the Track page of the app
Select the 'Sync' button under the graph
A window will pop up that prompts you to select the Google account you'd like to use to sync with Google Fit
Once you've selected the account, the next window will ask you to allow Second Nature to access data from your Google Fit account. Select 'Allow' at the bottom right
Your account will then be linked to Google Fit and your step counts and weight readings will automatically be transmitted and appear under the 'Track' section of the Second Nature app.
Unlinking Google Fit from the Second Nature app
If you prefer to manually add your step count and weight readings into the Second Nature app, you can also make sure that Google Fit does not transmit any information to the Second Nature app:
Go to your Google Fit account
Select 'Profile'
Select the 'Settings' wheel icon on the top right
Select 'Manage connected apps'
Select 'Google Fit apps and devices' from the drop-down menu
Select 'Second Nature'
Select 'Disconnect'
Please reach out to us with any questions by selecting 'Speak to Customer Support' at the bottom of the 'Chat' page in-app.
