If your old weight chart and calorie view have gone, you can still keep your history and see a trend for free. Here are three things to try first.
1. Turn on Apple Health sharing
If you use an iPhone, the Google Health app can share your data with Apple Health. In the Google Health app, open settings, find the option to share with Apple Health, and turn it on. Your iPhone will ask which kinds of data to allow. Allow weight, and anything else you want to see, such as steps, heart rate, sleep and the food you log.
Then open the Health app on your iPhone and check under Browse that your data is arriving. The Health app shows your weight on a chart, and shows the energy you eat and the energy you burn as separate charts.
Sharing may not copy over your older history, so do step 2 as well.
2. Download your full history with Google Takeout
Google Takeout is Google's free tool for downloading a copy of your data.
- Go to takeout.google.com and sign in with the Google account your watch or scale uses.
- Untick everything, then tick only your health and fitness data.
- Ask for the export. Google emails you a download link when it's ready. This can take a few hours or longer.
- Keep the file somewhere safe. It holds your past weigh-ins and the rest of your history, so nothing is lost.
3. Use a weight trend app
Some iPhone apps read your weigh-ins from Apple Health and draw a smoothed trend line, so one heavy day doesn't hide the bigger picture. Happy Scale is one well-known example. Check what each app reads and how far back it goes before you pay for anything.
