Description
Section titled “Description”Health data is some of the most personal information on your iPhone. It can include steps, workouts, sleep, medications, heart data, cycle tracking, medical records, symptoms, mobility, and other patterns that say a lot about your body and daily life.
Apps often ask for Health access because it makes their product more useful, more personalized, or more profitable. That does not mean every fitness app, habit tracker, scale, wearable, or research study deserves long-term access.
