Health Connect on Android.
On Android, MoveTogether reads your activity from Health Connect. If your watch, ring, or app syncs to Health Connect, it works, and you compete on the same leaderboard as friends on iPhone.
One permission, then compete.
MoveTogether asks Health Connect for read access to steps, active calories, exercise sessions, sleep, distance, weight, and height. Steps, calories, and exercise drive your rings. Sleep scores Sleep competitions and distance scores Distance competitions. Weight and height never affect scoring.
