# Connect to Google Fit (via Terra)

Learn how to connect Treekly to the Google Fit app

For Android users, we recommend setting **Google Fit** as your steps provider.

You will notice there are a choice of **two Google Fit icons** in the Treekly app to chose from.

The Google Fit icon with the heart symbol in the corner refers to **Health Connect**. This is Google's "bridge" allowing 3rd parties (such as Treekly) to request your steps data, subject to your permissions. For guidance on how to connect via Health Connect [**click here**](https://help.treekly.org/en/articles/4-connect-to-google-fit-android.md)

The other Google Fit icon in Treekly (without a symbol) is configured to use **Terra** as the "bridge".

### To connect to Google Fit (via Terra):

1.  On the Home screen, tap the **link** 🔗 **icon next to the steps counter**.
    
2.  This will open the Health connector page - here tap **Google Fit** and press **Connect** when the pop-up box appears.
    
3.  You will be **redirected** to the Google login or permissions page (if logged in).
    
4.  Select the 2 unticked permissions (**Calendar** and **Activity**) and press **Continue.**
    
5.  Return to the Treekly app and you will be connected to Google.
    

### Troubleshooting

If the connection drops between the Treekly app and Google Fit, here's how to reset:

1.  Open the Google Fit app.
    
2.  Tap **Profile** and select the **cog icon** in the upper right corner.
    
3.  Scroll down to **Manage connected apps**.
    
4.  Select **Terra** and tap **remove access** - select ok.
    
5.  Follow the steps above on how to **_connect to Google Fit_**.
