If you have more than one device (say, an Apple Watch and an Oura ring), MigraineMe might be getting the same kind of information from both. That is fine, but you can choose which one is the primary source. The primary source is the one the app trusts first when both are giving slightly different numbers.
You do not have to do this. The app picks a sensible default. But if you find that one device is more accurate for you, this is where you tell the app.
These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.
Opening Data and Notifications
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
- Tap Data and Notifications.
- The Data screen opens.
Finding a metric with a source picker
Not every row has a source picker. Only the ones where two or more of your devices can supply the same data show a chooseable badge.
- Find the metric row you care about (for example, inside Sleep).
- Each row has a small green pill badge below the metric label showing the current source (for example Apple Health, Oura, Garmin, Polar or Health Connect).
- If the badge has a small chevron on the right, it is tappable.
- Tap the badge.
Picking your primary source
- A menu pops up showing all the sources that can give this metric.
- Tap the name of the device you want to use as the primary.
- The menu closes and the badge updates to show the new source.
That is all you need to do. From the next time the app refreshes (usually within a few minutes), it will prefer that source.
Can I use two sources at once?
No. Each metric takes its readings from the one source you pick. Switching the source changes where new readings come from. Readings already saved stay where they are.
If you forgot to wear the watch one night, that night will simply have no reading from it. Pick the device you wear most reliably for each metric.
On iPhone
On iPhone, Apple Health is the most common phone source. It will appear as Apple Health in the picker. Your Apple Watch's data also flows through Apple Health, so it appears under the same name.
On Android
On Android, the phone source is Health Connect. Your Wear OS watch and many third-party apps feed into Health Connect, so they all appear there.
If the chevron is missing
- Make sure the device is connected. Open the gear icon top-left, then Connections, and check that the wearable card shows Connected.
- Make sure that metric is supported by your device. Not every watch measures every thing. Skin temperature, for example, only works on newer watches.
- Pull down on the Data screen to refresh.
There is no wrong choice here. If you change your mind, just open the picker again.
