Share health and fitness data with apps and devices
You can give other apps permission to share health and fitness data with Health. For example, if you install a workout app, its exercise data can appear in Health. The workout app can also read and make use of data (such as your heart rate and weight) shared by other devices and apps. If you didn’t give an app permission to share data with Health when you set up the app, you can give permission later. You can also remove permission from an app.
