Check Health Connect availability

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 have been granted access to the Health Connect APIs, 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.
