What is activity logging?
Activity logging is a way to get data from other activity tracking apps and devices into G7 through Apple Health / Health Connect. Once connected, in addition to workout events, iOS users will see their display steps, Active minutes and active energy in the History tab. In addition to workout events, Android users will see their daily steps in the History tab. Both iOS and Android users will see activity data from devices paired with Health Connect and Apple Health (like fitness trackers) on the landscape view of your G7 trend graph and in the History tab.
