With the help of the Health application for iPhone or iPad it is possible to record your active life. This can be done automatically using an Apple Watch and the workout app or other tools, but apps can also write data to the app.
Has an app or accessory added incorrect data to Health? Then you can remove it so that it does not affect your statistics and performance. If necessary, you can then make a correction manually. We explain how to delete the data in health and add it manually.
