The balantia app can be connected with Health Connect so that it automatically receives activity data (steps) from other apps and wearables (e.g. Google Fit, Samsung Health, Fitbit, Garmin).
Important info about Health ConnectUsually, Health Connect is pre-installed on most Android devices. If it’s not installed on your device, balantia will let you know and ask you to download it.
The balantia app doesn’t count steps itself; it just reads the step data that has already been recorded in Health Connect by third-party apps and devices.
On newer Android devices, Health Connect works as a system service and you can find it in your device Settings.

Way 2: From Settingseither from Settings at the bottom right of the screen, by tapping the Auto-tracking icon to enable it
Select Health Connect.
