Data sources and priority

When you add app sources and reorder app priority, you can see how the data totals change based on your selection.

When multiple apps write the same data type, like steps, that data is merged. If there are inconsistencies with the data from different apps, the data from the app higher on the list will be given priority.

Add and remove apps under app sources

You can now add or remove apps that contribute to your activity or sleep data totals. The app that you remove still writes data to Health Connect; however, its data won’t be counted in the data totals.
