Connecting Xiaomi Device
As of now, Xiaomi’s native health apps, such as Mi Fit or Mi Health, do not officially support integration with Health Connect. This means direct synchronization between Xiaomi’s health data and Health Connect isn’t available.

For instance, Google Fit can act as an intermediary:
1. Sync Xiaomi Data to Google Fit: Open your Xiaomi health app (e.g., Mi Fit), navigate to settings, and link it to Google Fit.

How to fix syncing issues?

It’s common for the step count in Activate to differ slightly from what your phone’s health app shows. Here’s why this happens and when to be concerned.
