How to share your data in Health on iPhone

You can share health data stored in the Health app, such as health alerts and trends, with friends, family, and others caring for you.

The people you share with can also see the health notifications you get, like high heart rate and irregular rhythm notifications. You can review or change what you’re sharing, or stop sharing data with a contact or a provider. You can share health and fitness data with apps and devices, too.

Share health data with someone

The people you share health data with can also see the health notifications you get, including high heart rate and irregular rhythm notifications. Notifications for significant trends, like a steep decline in activity, can be shared, too.

Note: To share health data with someone, you need to include them in your contacts.

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Sharing, then do one of the following:
   • Set up sharing for the first time: Tap Share with Someone.
   • Share with an additional contact: Tap Add another person and then tap Next.
3. Use the search field to find someone in your contacts list and tap their contact information to select them.
4. Tap See Suggested Topics or Set Up Manually, then choose topics to share.
5. Scroll down to see all topics on a screen, choose options, and then tap Next to see the next screen.
6. Tap Share, then tap Done.

Once your invitation is accepted, you get a notification.

Review or change the data you’re sharing with others

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Sharing.
3. Tap the name of a person or a healthcare provider.
4. Scroll down, then tap View Shared Data.
5. Make any changes, then tap Done.

Stop sharing data with a contact or a provider

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Sharing.
3. Tap the name of a person or a healthcare provider.
4. Tap Stop Sharing or Remove Account.

Note: If you start sharing data with someone, simply removing them from Contacts doesn’t stop the information from being shared.

Share health and fitness data with apps and devices

Other apps can share health and fitness data with Health if you give them permission. Install a workout app, for example, and its exercise data can show up in Health. The workout app can also read and use data shared by other devices and apps, such as your heart rate and weight. Didn’t give an app permission to share data with Health during setup? You can give permission later, or remove an app’s permission.

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Summary, then tap your picture or initials.
3. Below Privacy, tap Apps or Devices.

The screen lists the items that requested access to Health data.

4. To change the access for an item, tap it. Turn on or off permission to write data to—or read data from—Health.

Share your health and fitness data in XML format

Health can export all of your health and fitness data in XML format, a common format for sharing data between apps.

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Summary, then tap your picture or initials.
3. Tap Export All Health Data. Then choose a method for sharing your data.
