# Connect to Strava (Android)

Learn how to connect Treekly to Strava using Health Connect

How do I check my Android version? Find out [here](https://support.google.com/android/answer/7680439?hl=en-GB).  
  
**Android 14 (API 34) or higher.**  
  
You do **not** need to install Health Connect, as it is embedded in Android 14. Please ensure that you uninstall Health Connect via the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.healthdata&hl=en&gl=US) to prevent any potential clashes between the two instances. The Health Connect app has been uninstalled; if you see the "Install" or "Update" button, it has been uninstalled.

  
**Android 9 (API 28) or higher.**  
  
You must install the [Health Connect](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.healthdata&hl=en&gl=US) app before synchronising your steps with Treekly.

**Android 8.1 (API 27) or lower.**

Not supported.  
  
**To connect to Strava via Health Connect:**

1.  Open the Strava app and tap the **You** tab.
    
2.  Tap the **settings (gear icon)**.
    
3.  Select **Manage Apps and Devices** → **Health Connect**.
    
4.  Follow the prompts to connect your account.
    
5.  Open Health Connect and confirm Strava appears under **App permissions**.
    

On the Treekly app:

1.  On the Home screen, tap the **link** 🔗 **icon next to the steps counter**.
    
2.  This will open the Health Connect page. Tap **Strava** (with the blue heart Health Connect symbol).
    
3.  The Health Connect screen will open if Treekly lacks the required permissions. Allow Treekly to read the **_Steps_** _and_ **_Distance_** data.
    
4.  Select the “_I'm ready for Treekly to connect_“ checkbox.
    
5.  Tap **Connect**.
