Connect Third-Party Apps to Apple Health
Another useful feature is the ability to connect apps from other developers to Apple Health. With so many great apps that track everything from your heart rate and your workouts to your weight and blood pressure, keeping all that data in your Health app is a must.
This connection must be initiated from the third-party app, and how to do this will be different for each app. However, most health and fitness apps that offer support for Apple Health should prompt you to make the connection when you open the app for the first time.
Once an app has made the initial connection with Apple Health. you can check that in the Health app and control what data is being shared in both directions. Here’s how:
- Open the Health app and make sure you’re in the Summary tab.
- Tap on your profile in the top right corner.
- Under Privacy, select Apps and Services.
- Choose the app you want to manage the connection for.
- Turn on the features you need or select Turn On All to let your iPhone do it for you.
