Sharing health activity between apple watch and samsung watch?

[Blazeeofglory]

Is there any way to share health activity (steps) between the apple watch and samsung galaxy watch?

What exactly do you have in mind?

You might be able to employ some third piece of software, but I’m not aware of any that will combine step counts from trackers produced by multiple companies.

My primary step tracker is a Garmin Forerunner 645. Apple Health and Garmin Connect were able to share information with each other, but as soon as I introduced an Apple Watch, everything went haywire. Step counts from Garmin would either sync multiple times, leading to a grossly inflated step count, or they wouldn’t sync at all. But when I used ONLY the Garmin or ONLY the Apple Watch, everything worked flawlessly.

Even MyFtinessPal only allows one device or service to act as the primary step tracker.

I forgot to add important information lol. Basically, I want to compare steps with family. For example, samsung health can have a "leaderboard" comparing steps with friends who also use the app. Apple also has something similar. Id like to be able to compare my steps with my friends using apple products...while on my samsung watch. If that makes sense.

I don’t think you can do that without using a third-party service, but I don’t know of any that do what you want. You’re either in the Apple ecosystem or you’re not, unfortunately.

I doubt it. apple doesn't like to share with competitors
