Apple Health Not Syncing

Apple Health sync needs iOS, HealthKit permission, data in Apple Health, and a successful NutriTracker sync.

Before you start #

  • Apple Health is iOS-only.
  • NutriTracker must have permission for each data type you want to sync.
  • NutriTracker reads aggregated daily summaries and does not write to Apple Health.

Where to find it #

iOS #

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Integrations.
  3. Tap Apple Health.
  4. Use Re-check permissions, Sync now, or Open Apple Health settings.

Android #

  1. Apple Health does not sync on Android.
  2. Use Settings > Connected Apps > Health Connect.

Web #

  1. Apple Health cannot be synced from web.
  2. Use the iOS app, then view synced data on web after sync completes.

How to use it #

  1. Open Apple Health in NutriTracker Settings.
  2. Tap Re-check permissions.
  3. Tap Open Apple Health settings and confirm NutriTracker has access to the missing data type.
  4. Return to NutriTracker and tap Sync now.
  5. Open Insights and refresh the relevant card.

What happens next #

  • Synced summaries can update Insights, weight trend, coach context, and health-related cards.
  • Denied data types stay missing until permission is granted.
  • If Apple Health itself has no data for a metric, NutriTracker cannot create it.

Troubleshooting #

  • Sync now is disabled. Grant Apple Health permissions first.
  • Weight is missing. Grant weight permission in Apple Health settings or use Manual Weight Logging.
  • Steps or sleep are missing. Check Apple Health contains the data for the date, then re-check permissions and sync again.
  • I am on web or Android. Apple Health sync is only in the iOS app.

Privacy and safety notes #

  • Only aggregated daily summaries are used. Raw HealthKit samples are not stored by NutriTracker.
