On Charge 6 can Autorecognise walks sync to strava?

[Joy1M]

I've been using a Charge 4 with a Samsung S10e and my watch has broken. I am thinking of buying the Charge 6. Can I get an auto-recognised walk to sync to Strava automatically on a Charge 6? (I've never managed it on my charge 4, I always have to start an activity on my watch in order for the walk to sync to Strava. Even auto-recognised walks which have GPS data used haven't synced to Strava.) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and if it will be better on the Charge 6? Thanks

Generally, sharing data between platforms on Android is achieved using a system called Health Connect. It's an app that you can install on most Android phones that acts as a go-between for fitness platforms. For example, I have Fitbit and Google fit synchronised through health connect.

But Strava is a notable exception, and currently does not support Health Connect.

Checking the Strava community, it is a highly requested feature, but it's not here yet.

Thanks for taking the time to reply! That's helpful to know - the weird thing is that some of my data syncs between Fitbit and Strava brilliantly, just the data that's come from an auto-recognised activity that doesn't.  I'll keep adding my voice in the Strava community and hoping they catch up soon!!
