Connect your Strava account to Samsung Health so you can follow your Strava routes on your phone or a compatible watch during an activity.
Before You Start
You need:
A Strava account with at least one route saved.
The Samsung Health app on your phone.
A compatible Samsung watch connected to Samsung Health on your phone, if you want to follow a route during an activity.
Samsung Health 7.1 or newer on your phone, and on your watch if you plan to follow routes there.
Send a Route in Strava to Samsung Health
Open Samsung Health and tap an activity type you’ve created a route for in Strava (run, bike, walk, or hike).
Tap the menu icon with three dots in the top right corner, then select Routes.
Tap the + icon in the top right corner of the page.
Tap Saved routes from Strava. Your Strava routes appear in a list with their distance and elevation.
Tap a route to see its map.
Scroll down to see the route stats.
Tap Add to my routes.
New routes created in Strava aren’t added automatically, so repeat these steps for each new route you want to use.
Follow a Saved Route on Your Phone or Watch
Open the Samsung Health app on your phone or watch, and select the workout activity type: run, walk, bike, or hike. Routes are activity type specific, so a route only appears under the activity type it was created for.
Tap Set target, then Route target.
Select the route you previously saved in the Samsung Health app.
Start your workout.
If you use a watch, the route must first be in Samsung Health on your phone before it appears as a selectable route on the watch.
FAQs
Why Don’t I See My Strava Routes in Samsung Health?
If the Saved routes from Strava screen asks you to connect, Strava isn’t connected yet. Turn on the Strava toggle on the Services screen and tap Authorize. If you’re connected and the list is empty, check that your Strava account has routes.
How Do I Disconnect Strava From Samsung Health?
Revoke Samsung Health’s access in your Strava settings, or in Samsung Health go to Settings > Services > Strava and toggle it off. After that, Samsung Health can’t view your Strava routes until you connect again.
What if I Make Changes to My Route in Strava?
You will need to resync the updated route in the Samsung Health app, and it will appear as a new route.
How Do I Remove a Route From Samsung Health?
Open Samsung Health, tap the activity type, tap the menu icon with three dots, and select Routes. Touch and hold the route you want to remove, then tap Delete. Deleting a route in Samsung Health doesn’t delete it from Strava.
What if My Route Doesn’t Show on My Watch?
Make sure your watch is connected to your phone and Samsung Health 7.1 or later is installed on both. Then confirm the route appears in your saved routes in Samsung Health on your phone.
