Body Measurement Tracker 5.0.15: Sync with Health Connect (Android)

Keep your weight, height, body fat, and BMR in sync with the rest of your Android health stack.

We’re happy to announce that Body Measurement Tracker for Android now integrates with Health Connect—Google’s modern way for fitness and health apps to share data safely and with your permission.

This ships in version 5.0.15 and is rolling out on Google Play.

What you can sync

When you turn sync on, the app can read and write these types with Health Connect (you control each one individually):

  • Weight

  • Height

  • Body fat percentage

  • Basal metabolic rate

That means entries you log in Body Measurement Tracker can show up in other apps that use Health Connect, and data from compatible apps and devices can flow into your tracker—so your charts and history stay closer to the full picture.

Body fat: you choose the source

For body fat %, you decide what the app should treat as the “source of truth” when writing to Health Connect:

  • Manual body fat entries

  • Navy method

  • Jackson calipers method

Body fat readings that arrive from Health Connect are merged into your manual body fat track, so imports stay predictable.

Built for real households (and real habits)

  • Pick which profile syncs—handy if you use multiple people on one device.

  • Choose how much history to include on the first sync (for example recent months or all time).

  • After you opt in, the app can sync in the background when you open it, so things stay up to date without fuss.

How to get started

  1. Update to 5.0.15+ from Google Play.

  2. Open the app and look for the Health Connect entry point on the home screen (Gold subscribers).

  3. Choose your profile, turn on sync, and grant permissions in Health Connect when prompted.

  4. Optionally fine-tune which data types sync and how body fat should be calculated.

Note: Health Connect requires a supported Android device with Health Connect available. If you don’t see the option, update Android and the Health Connect system component as needed.

iPhone users

Comparable Apple Health integration is coming to the iOS app soon. We’ll post again when it’s ready.
