Sync Apple Health

Before you start

• You need the Beoflow iPhone app. Apple Health can only be connected from the iPhone app, not from the web or the Android app. On the web, the Apple Health card in Integrations shows Get the iPhone app instead of Connect.
• If you wear an Apple Watch, make sure it syncs to the Health app on your iPhone.

Connect Apple Health

During setup

1. When you reach Connect Apple Health, the Apple Health permission sheet opens.
2. Turn on the data types you want to share, then tap Allow.
3. Tap CONTINUE if the next step doesn’t open by itself.

Later, from Settings

1. Open the menu and tap Settings.
2. Tap the heart icon at the top, or tap ⋯ and then Connect Apple Health.
3. Allow the data types you want to share.

You’ll see “Apple Health connected. Your health data will sync automatically.”

To change which data types you share, tap ⋯ → Health Settings → Open Settings, then choose Beoflow and adjust your permissions.

Fill a gap in your data

1. Open the menu and tap Integrations, then the Connections tab.
2. On the Apple Health card, tap Where is my data? (or tap ⋮ → Where is my data?).
3. Under Force Sync / Historical Backfill, tap Sync Last 14 Days, Sync Last 30 Days or Sync Last 90 Days.

You’ll see “Resyncing Apple Health (last 14 days). New data appears as it arrives.” with the number of days you picked. ⋮ → Resync on the same card fetches the last 14 days.

What you’ll see

• Beoflow keeps reading new Apple Health data in the background, even when the app is closed. Your iPhone decides the exact timing, so new data can take a little while to arrive. Opening Beoflow also checks for anything new.
• Beoflow reads your workouts, sleep, heart data (including heart rate variability) and steps, limited to the types you allowed.
• New data can only reach Beoflow once it’s in the Health app on your iPhone.

Troubleshooting

• My data isn’t showing up
  1. Open the iPhone Settings app → Privacy & Security → Health → Beoflow. Under Allow Beoflow to Read, make sure Workouts, Sleep Analysis, Heart Rate and Steps are on. If a type is off, iPhone gives Beoflow no data for it and shows no error.
  2. Apple Watch workouts must finish transferring to your iPhone first. Check the workout is visible in the Health or Fitness app.
  3. Use Fill a gap in your data above.
• “Unable to reconnect Apple Health right now. Please try again.” Close and reopen Beoflow, then try Connect Apple Health again from Settings.
• A different device’s data shows instead of Apple Health. If you also use a Garmin, WHOOP or other device, you choose which one Beoflow uses first. See Choose which device Beoflow trusts, and refresh your data.
• On the web, the sync buttons are missing. The dialog says “Apple Health sync runs exclusively via the Beoflow iOS app on your iPhone.” Open it from the iPhone app instead.

FAQ

• Does Beoflow write to Apple Health? No. Beoflow only reads.
• How do I stop sharing? Turn Beoflow off in iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Beoflow. Selecting Disconnect in Integrations doesn’t stop your iPhone from sending data, so use the iPhone setting.
• Can I connect Apple Health from the web or Android? No. Only the iPhone app can read Apple Health. On Android, use Health Connect.
• How far back can I fill in? Up to 90 days at a time, with Sync Last 90 Days.

Privacy

Beoflow only reads the data types you allow, and uses them to calculate your readiness, sleep and training load. Your data stays in your account. If you’ve given a coach access, they see the results you share with them.
