Mi Band 3 not syncing heart rate in health app

GUYS, I'VE FOUND A SOLUTION... despite following all instructions to try to get continuous heart rate synced with Health in iOS, things didn't work for me. Mi Band 3 won't show up as a device in the "health source devices" list. The only reasonable explanation is the bluetooth version in iPhone 6 that is originally 4.0, while Mi Band uses 4.2. So if you have iPhone 6s or newer, it probably works for you.

If you are in my situation, I found a work around. Download the free app Amaz Tools. It get all your heart rate readings by the Mi Fit and will write it on Health. It's not automatic. Everytime you want to sync you need to open the app, hit sync, wait some minutes, and it will be there. It's working fine for me (the app has in app purchase to remove adds, but I'm using it without paying and I've found no restrictions nor limitations).

Hi,

I was facing the same issue but I managed to fix it.

Kindly follow the below steps.

1. Go to Health App on your iPhone

2. Click on Heart rate

3. Select the Heart Rate again ( if you don't see any data then go to any date where heart data was recorded

4. Click on Elementary Mark

5. Data Sources and Access

6. Click on edit

7. Unselect Mi Fit

8. click on Done

Basically now your iPhone is connected to your band via Bluetooth. So it will record heart rate directly from the device instead of importing from Mi Fit app.

If above-mentioned steps are not successful then unpair the band from Bluetooth device as well from Mi-Fit app and re-pair them.

Hey piezo37, there is no Mi Band 3 listed on Apple Health Sources (only the MiFit app). I've already checked and my Mi Band is set as discoverable and Heart Rate Sharing is also turned on. Is there any way to make Mi Band 3 to show in the devices list on Apple Health Sources?

Piezo37, I really don't know how you managed to do that. Tried everything. I unpaired from the app (also from the iphone), deleted MiFit app, turn off my iphone, turned it on again. Installed Mi Fit, logged into my account, paired with my MiBand 3 again, turned on discoverable and heart rate sharing, and still Mi Band won't show in Health source device as it is in your printscreen. I only have iphone there. I must be missing something. Tried it all, step by step.

I'm sorry to bother you with this, but, can you please explain exactly how you did that? Did the MiBand 3 just show up in health? Did it ask for permission?

IOS v12.1.2

MiFit v3.5.6

I have try this on my iPhone 8+ and 6s+ both working.

From what i understand, iPhone has to treat MiBand as bluetooth device directly, rather than taking the heart rate from MiFit. Try delete MiFit app, unpair and say forget this device. pair the bluetooth then reinstall MiFit.

Hey, thanks for answering. I actually did all the steps and it didn't work. Got mad enough today with this issue. I'm using iOS v12.1 and MiFit v3.5.6. However I'm using an iPhone 6. Maybe it has a different bluetooth versions. I did a quick search, and it seems that iPhone 6 was shipped with bluetooth 4.0, but with a software update it was upgraded to v4.2, however not with all functionalities. I'm really out of options. That's is the only explanation I can think of this moment. No matter how I disconnect, unpair, pair, it won't show Mi Band 3 as a device source for Apple Health. Mi Band is in the bluetooth devices, but it's not as a device on the list in the health app. Anyway, I really appreciate your help.

You might want to unpair your MiBand 3, uninstall your MiFit, reinstall and pair it again. Strange but that's how I got my working.

In mi fit app, you have to go to mi band 3, then enable activity heart rate sharing.

Then it will work.

I am also facing the same issue.

Health app is just showing manually taken heart rates data.

Hi,

I tried all the steps above, but it didn't work. Tried to unpair from Mi Fit and Bluetooth and pair again. Still, it didn't work. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong.

I have the same problem :-(

Any solution now ?

use MiFit - Select Profile -> Mi Band 3 -> under Activity heart rate sharing and Discoverable -> On

under Apple Health App -> Sources -> Mi Band 3 -> switch on "Update Health Data"
