Granting HealthKit Permissions

Allow VitalSync to read and write data from Apple Health for automatic syncing.

Granting HealthKit Permissions

VitalSync integrates with Apple Health (HealthKit) to automatically import your vitals, sleep data, and activity. You must grant permissions for each data type you want to sync.

During Onboarding

When you first launch VitalSync, you will be prompted to grant Health permissions. Tap Allow All to enable full sync, or select individual categories.

Granting Permissions Manually

If you skipped permissions during onboarding:

  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  • Scroll down and tap Health.
  • Tap Data Access & Devices.
  • Find and tap VitalSync.
  • Toggle on each data type you want to share.
  • Required Permissions

    iPad Note
