How do I connect my device or app to Propulsion?
Propulsion counts your steps and activities from a source you connect in the app. Here is how to choose the right one and connect it. For detailed steps by phone, see How do I get my steps counted in Propulsion?
Where to connect a source
In the Propulsion app, on iPhone and Android alike:
- Tap your avatar at the top left.
- Tap Settings (the gear at the top right).
- Open Activity tracking.
- Tap Connect next to the provider of your choice.
Which source to choose
| Phone | Recommended source |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Apple Health (or Garmin, Fitbit) |
| Samsung Galaxy | Samsung Health (or Garmin, Fitbit) |
| Other Android (Pixel, Motorola…) | Google Health, through the Fitbit connector (or Garmin) |
On another Android, choosing Fitbit is normal even without a Fitbit watch: this connector reads data from the Google Health app.
Google Fit shuts down in December 2026 and new connections are blocked. See what to do
Propulsion has no other direct connection. In particular, there is no direct Strava connection.
Your brand is not on the list?
On iPhone, most watches and apps work if they share their data with Apple Health. Turn on that sharing in your brand's app, then connect Apple Health in Propulsion.
On Android, most other brands are not compatible for the moment. See the list of apps and watches that work on Android.
One source at a time
Connect only one step source at a time. If you switch sources, disconnect the old one first (including Google Fit or the pedometer), and avoid doing it during a challenge.
What about the phone's pedometer?
With no source connected, your phone's pedometer can count your steps if you accepted the motion permission. On Android, it only counts while Propulsion is open: connect a source instead.
For a workout that was not captured, tap Add an activity on the home screen (see how). Steps can't be added manually.
