How to Control Which Apps Can Access Your iPhone’s Health Data

imageedit_1_4455207094.png

Your iPhone knows a lot about your health, especially if you use apps like MyFitnessPal or track your activity using an Apple Watch. If given permission, apps can access that data. Here’s how to check which apps have access to your data.
We’ve shown how it can keep tabs on your location and expose that data to apps before, but what about your health data? The Health app collects as much data as you can give it, and if you’re using apps for tracking your weight, calories, blood pressure, and more, that can be a lot. If you’re wearing an Apple Watch, it can be even more information than you may realize.
[h=2]How to Control Which Apps Can Access Your Health Data[/h]There may be some kinds of health data that you don’t want to be tracked at all, or there may be others that you don’t mind Apple seeing, but would rather not hand over to apps. It’s all something you can control from within the Health app.
To get started, open the Health app on your iPhone and tap “Sources” at the bottom of the screen.

Here, you can see all of the apps that have requested access to your health data, either to read existing or add new health data. Tapping an individual app gives you additional information on the data to which it has access.
You can even see the data uninstalled apps had access to by tapping “Uninstalled Apps.”
