Manage connected apps in Health Connect

You control which apps have access to your data in Health Connect.

For health records, Health Connect uses a single-write permission to streamline data entry. It offers granular read permissions to ensure you maintain precise control over apps which access your sensitive health information. This approach prioritizes your privacy with all health records stored on your device and you decide who can access what. When third party apps access your health records, they may make a copy of your data.
