Sync with Apple Health (iOS)

On iPhone, Nutrola can sync with Apple Health. Open the Profile tab, scroll to the Health & Devices section, and tap Connect on the Apple Health row, then allow the categories you want. With your permission, Nutrola reads activity and body data and writes back the meals, water, weight, and workouts you log. Apple Health is iOS only.

How do I connect Apple Health?

1. Open the Profile tab in Nutrola.
2. Scroll down to the section titled Health & Devices.
3. On the Apple Health row, tap the Connect button.
4. In the iOS Health permission sheet, turn on the categories you want to share, then confirm.

Once the permission sheet closes without an error, the Apple Health row shows Connected. Note that this "Connected" label means the permission sheet was completed; it does not confirm exactly which categories you allowed, so if something is not syncing it is worth checking the individual switches (see below).

This section only appears on iPhone. Apple Health is an iOS feature and is not available on Android. If you use Android, see Health sync on Android (Google Health Connect).

What data syncs, and in which direction?

The sync is two-way, and exactly what is shared depends on the categories you allow in the Health sheet.

With your permission, Nutrola can read data from Apple Health such as steps, weight, body fat percentage, height, workouts, water, and energy (calories burned).

Nutrola can write back data it tracks, including:

• Meals you log, as dietary energy (calories) plus protein, carbs, and fat
• Water you log
• Weight and body fat samples you record
• Workouts you log

For more detail on the specific categories and permissions, see Exactly what data Nutrola reads from and writes to Apple Health. To pull your existing Apple Health workouts into Nutrola, see Importing workouts from Apple Health. When your weight differs between Nutrola and Apple Health, see How Nutrola decides your current weight when a scale and the app disagree. For when the sync actually runs, see When Apple Health sync happens (and why nothing imports during onboarding).

What if syncing isn't working?

If data is not flowing the way you expect:

• Make sure you allowed access for the categories you care about. On your iPhone, open the Settings app, find the Health settings, and check Nutrola's data access, then enable the categories you want. The exact path and wording vary by iOS version, so look under Health (Apple has placed this under Data Access & Devices, under Apps, or under Privacy & Security depending on the version).
• Reopen Nutrola after changing permissions so it can pick up the new access.
• Remember that Apple shows Nutrola as connected once the permission sheet is completed, even if some categories were left off, so a missing data type usually means that one switch is off.

If data still does not appear, see My data isn't syncing.

How do I disconnect or change what's shared?

There is no in-app disconnect toggle. To change or turn off what Nutrola shares, manage Nutrola's access in your iPhone's Health settings, where you can switch individual categories on or off. Turning a category off there stops that data from syncing.

A note on water and deleting meals

Water you log in Nutrola does sync to Apple Health on iPhone. (On Android, water does not sync to Health Connect.) For more on water tracking, see How to track water intake.

Deleting a meal in Nutrola does not automatically remove the matching entry from Apple Health. See Deleting a meal in the app does not remove it from Apple Health if you need to clean those up.
