Connecting to Apple HealthUpdated a month ago

Overview

  • Apple Health Sync allows you to share your health and activity data from the app with Apple's Health app on your iPhone.

Detailed Explanation

  • To connect, go to Settings → Authorise Data Sharing → Connect to Apple Health within the app, then authorise the sync when prompted.
  • On first use, you'll be asked to select which health data types you want to share with Apple Health. Enable the data types you want to sync.
  • If you need to change the data types the app shares later on, go to your iPhone's Settings → App → Health → Data Access & Devices and configure the app's data sources.
  • Note: If you're using iOS 17 or earlier, go to your iPhone's Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices instead.

Important: Data From Multiple Sources

  • Apple Health can combine data from multiple sources, such as other apps or devices like iPhone, Apple Watch, and third-party fitness trackers.
  • When Apple Health receives step data from several sources, it adds them together and displays the combined total.
  • This can cause a discrepancy between the step count shown in this app or on your ring, versus the total shown in the Apple Health app.

Precautions

  • Data shown in Apple Health may not match the app or your ring exactly if you use multiple connected apps or devices.
  • If you notice unexpected totals in Apple Health, check which data sources are enabled under Data Access & Devices.
