How to Export Apple Watch Workouts to Strava and Other Apps

Connecting Apple Health to Third-Party Apps

• 💡 Apple Health acts as a central hub, allowing compatible apps to read and use your body metric data.
• 🛠️ To connect an app, you typically need to enable specific permissions within its settings to allow data transfer.

Setting Up Strava with Apple Health

• 📲 First, download and open the Strava app from the App Store.
• 🚪 If you initially skip connecting to Apple Health, you can do so later by navigating to your profile icon, then settings.
• ⌚ Under 'Connect or a device', select Apple Watch and click 'Get Started'.
• ✅ Ensure you grant full permissions for motion, fitness, and syncing with Health, including 'Turn on all' and 'Allow'.

Managing Data Sync and Import

• 🔗 Once connected, you can manage app connections under 'Manage apps and devices'.
• 📤 Within Strava's settings, enable 'Send to Health' to automatically export activities from Strava to Apple Health.
• 🔄 Crucially, enable 'Upload activity from Health' to automatically import workouts recorded by the Apple Watch's native fitness app into Strava, even if Strava isn't running.
• 🗄️ You can also manually import previous workouts from Apple Health to Strava if needed.
