Our verdict
Huawei Health is close to mandatory for owners of Huawei watches and bands, with broad tracking in a free app. Trade-offs are its tie to the Huawei ecosystem, Android installation via AppGallery rather than Google Play, and an App Store declaration that links health data and precise location to the user's identity.
Best for: Owners of Huawei watches and bands who need a device and health-data manager
Skip it if: People without Huawei hardware or who do not want to install outside Google Play on Android
Pros
- Free, with 100+ sports, heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, steps and a cycle calendar
- Available on iOS and Android, syncing weight and exercise with Apple HealthKit
- Huawei states Health data is stored locally under encryption and cloud upload is optional
Cons
- Removed from Google Play (reported April 2023); Android installs go via AppGallery or Galaxy Store
- Huawei's Vietnam page marks Health+ as not yet available, and official pages list no price

Experience & key features
What Huawei Health is
Huawei Health is the companion app for Huawei watches, bands and some devices such as scales and heart rate monitors. It records workouts, heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep and steps, and includes a cycle calendar. At HDC 2022 Huawei said it had over 400 million global users and 97 million monthly active users, figures published by Huawei itself.
Key features
Per the official page, the app tracks 100+ sports, offers RouteDraw for drawing shapes with running routes, Move/Exercise/Stand activity rings, medals and challenges. Blood pressure is available only on the HUAWEI WATCH D line. It also downloads and customises watch faces and manages music and apps on the device. Huawei states data is for reference only, not for diagnosis.
Installation and pricing
Huawei's Vietnam page says the Android version is on AppGallery (with a Galaxy Store badge) and iOS on the App Store. According to Huawei Central (April 2023) the app was pulled from Google Play, its last signed APK having been uploaded on 15 July 2020. Health+ is a paid subscription adding training programmes, sleep audio and meditation; the official pages list no price, and the US App Store shows in-app items from $0.99 to $29.99 without saying which belong to Health+.
More analysis
Who it is for
It suits people who already use Huawei hardware. Owners of Garmin, Samsung or Xiaomi devices will generally use that maker's own app, such as Garmin Connect, Samsung Health, Mi Fitness or Zepp. Android users should factor in installing through AppGallery, and privacy-minded users should read the App Store data declaration before using it.

Privacy
According to Huawei's UK privacy page, Health data is kept in the phone's internal memory, encrypted with a random key that Huawei cannot decrypt. Uploading to the HiHealth cloud is optional; if allowed, data is sent over HTTPS with dynamic keys, and users can manage or erase cloud data at any time. Third-party access goes through OAuth. Huawei's general data-localisation section says personal information of users in mainland China is stored on servers there; the page does not say whether this covers Health data. The App Store privacy section, self-declared by the developer, lists health and fitness data, precise location, email, phone number and photos/videos linked to the user's identity. Huawei states the app is not a medical device and data is for reference only.

Why this score
A 4.5/5 US App Store rating from about 15 thousand ratings suggests fairly good satisfaction; this is public data, not direct measurement. Installing via AppGallery on Android reduces convenience.
Why this score
Broad scope: 100+ sports, activity rings, heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, cycle calendar, watch faces and device management. Some items such as nutrition analysis are marked not yet available on the official page.
Why this score
The app is free with no core limits found in the sources read. Health+ is optional but its price is unclear, so the score is not higher.
Why this score
Updated regularly (iOS v17.0.10.305 released 5 Nov 2026). No independent sensor-accuracy data was reviewed, so the score stays moderate. The Google Play removal is counted under ease of use, not here.
Why this score
Huawei's regional site (such as its Vietnam page) provides device pairing guidance. No verified information was found on other support channels.
Why this score
Local encryption and optional cloud upload per Huawei. However, the App Store declaration lists health data, precise location and identifiers linked to users, and regional storage is not spelled out for Health data.
