# Google Health Apple Health sync integration > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/google-health-apple-health-sync-integration > Updated: 2026-08-06T15:18:13.000Z. Sources: 18. Developments: 2. In early August 2026 Google released version 5.05 of its Google Health app for iOS, adding true two‑way synchronization with Apple Health. The update allows iPhone users to automatically write data such as steps, workouts, sleep, vitals and other Fitbit‑derived metrics into Apple Health, and to pull Apple Health data back into Google Health. Heart‑rate variability is excluded because the platforms calculate it differently. The rollout also introduced “Smart Health Links,” a secure feature that creates shareable URLs or QR codes so patients can provide concise summaries of their medical records to doctors or family members. Additional improvements included bug fixes for VO₂ max calculations, exercise‑map rendering and post‑workout editing, reflecting Google’s broader effort to integrate its health and fitness services across Android, Pixel devices and now Apple’s ecosystem. Expert commentary accompanying the release advised Apple Health users on optimal device pairing and configuration—suggesting compatible devices such as Withings BPM Connect, OMRON Evolv, Withings Body Smart and Wyze Scale Ultra—to ensure accurate cardiovascular and body‑composition tracking. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-06: Google Health Enables Bidirectional Sync with Apple Health Google Health now syncs fitness data bidirectionally with Apple Health, adding Smart Health Links, while experts guide optimal Apple Health setup and device integration. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/google-health-enables-bidirectional-sync-with-apple-health ### 2026-08-03: Google Health enables two-way sync with Apple Health on iPhone Google Health 5.05 adds two‑way Apple Health sync for iPhone users, letting Fitbit data flow directly into Apple Health and introducing US‑only Smart Health Links for medical record sharing. 16 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/google-health-505-adds-two-way-apple-health-sync-and-smart-health-links --- Cite as: Google Health Apple Health sync integration.
