Apple Watch users have had the ability to view their Apple Watch fitness information on their iPhone for a while in the Activity app. This year, Apple is changing the name of the app to 'Fitness. That’s the idea behind the Activity app on Apple Watch. Close your Move ring by hitting your personal goal of active calories burned. Apple Watch tracks the active calories you burn. Active calories are the ones you burn through all kinds of movement, from taking the stairs at work to playing with the kids to cleaning out the garage.
How to add data to the Health app
The Health app automatically counts your steps, walking, and running distances. And, if you have an Apple Watch, it automatically tracks all of your Activity data. If you're already using another app to track your health, you can try adding data from the app to Health, so all your information is in one place.
Enter information about your health
Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
Tap a category, like Activity.
Tap a subcategory, like Steps.
Tap Add Data in the upper-right corner.
Enter the date, time, and data for that activity.
When you're finished, tap Add.
Add information from other apps
Open the Health app.
Tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner .
Under Privacy, tap Apps. You can see apps that you already own that are compatible with Health. If you don't see an app, it might not be compatible.
Tap an app and turn on the health categories that you want that app to track.
You might also need to open the app and adjust its settings to allow it to share data with Health.
Find apps that are compatible with Health
Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
Tap a category, like Sleep.
Tap a subcategory, like Sleep Analysis.
Scroll down to the apps recommended for that category, then tap an app to learn about and download it.
Go back to your privacy settings in the Health app to allow that app to read or write data in the Health app.
You decide what information goes into the Health app and which apps can get your information from Health. Apps that access HealthKit must have a privacy policy. Review an app's privacy policy before allowing access to your health and fitness information.
Add information from your Apple Watch
To view your goals and your move, exercise, and stand data, open the Health app, tap the Browse tab, then tap Activity.
To see your heart rate data, open the Health app, tap the Browse tab, then tap Heart. Learn more about accuracy and limitations of the heart rate sensor.

Other Apple Watch apps can also read and write Health data. You can manage them directly on your Apple Watch: Go to Settings > Health > Apps.
If Health doesn’t track steps or other information, try these steps:
Open the Health app.
Tap your profile , then tap Devices.
Tap your Apple Watch.
Tap Privacy Settings and make sure that Fitness Tracking is turned on.
How Health handles data from multiple sources
The Health app takes similar data from different sources, like steps recorded from your iPhone and activity from your Apple Watch, and organizes it based on where it comes from. By default, Health prioritizes data in this order:
Health data that you enter manually.
Data from your iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple Watch.
Data from apps and Bluetooth devices.
When you add a new data source, it appears above all other apps and devices that contribute data in Health. You can change the order of sources at any time.
View your data sources
Here's how to see which devices and apps update specific health categories:
Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
Tap a category, like Activity. If you don't see the category, swipe down to reveal the search bar, then enter a category.
Tap a subcategory, like Steps.
Scroll down, then tap Data Sources & Access. Only the sources that contribute to that data type will appear.
Here's how to see all of your sources for the Health app:
Open the Health app.
Tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner .
Scroll down to Privacy, then tap Apps or Devices.
Prioritize data sources
Here's how to choose the sources that Health uses first:
Open the Health app, then tap the Browse tab.
Tap a category, then tap a subcategory.
Scroll down, then tap Data Sources & Access.
Tap Edit.
Touch and hold the Change Order button next to a data source, then drag it up or down in the list.
To turn off a data source so that it doesn't contribute any more data for that category, tap the checkmark next to the source.
Tap Done.
If multiple sources contribute the same data type, then the data source at the top will take priority over other sources. Any new apps or devices that you add go to the top of the list automatically, above your iPhone or iPod touch.
Back up your Health data
Health information is stored in iCloud and gets encrypted as it goes between iCloud and your device, and while it's stored in iCloud. End-to-end encryption requires iOS 12 and two-factor authentication. To stop storing your Health data in iCloud, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and turn off Health.
If you aren't using iCloud, you can back up your information in Health by encrypting your iTunes backup.
The information that you create or gather about yourself is under your control, and it's encrypted with your passcode when you lock your iPhone.

Activity Views
An activity is a task, such as Copy, Favorite, or Find, that’s useful in the current context. Once initiated, an activity can perform a task immediately, or ask for more information before proceeding. Activities are managed by an activity view, which appears as a sheet or popover, depending on the device and orientation. Use activities to give people access to custom services or tasks your app can perform.
Install Ios App On Mac
The system provides a number of built-in activities, including Print, Message, and AirPlay. These tasks always appear first in activity views and can’t be reordered. You don’t need to create custom activities that perform these built-in tasks. Activity views also display share and action extensions from other apps. See Sharing and Actions.
Design simple template images to represent your custom activities. A template image uses a mask to create an icon. Use black and white with appropriate transparency and antialiasing, and don’t include a drop shadow. Template images should be centered in an area measuring about 70px × 70px.
Craft activity titles that succinctly describe your tasks. Titles appear below the icons in an activity view. Short titles work best. When a title is too long, iOS first shrinks the text and then—if the title is still too long—truncates it. In general, avoid including your company or product name in a title.
Make sure activities are appropriate for the current context. Although system-provided tasks can’t be reordered in an activity, they can be excluded if they aren’t applicable to your app. For example, to prevent people from printing images, you can exclude the Print activity. You can also identify which custom tasks to show at any given time.
Use the Action button to display an activity view. People are accustomed to accessing system-provided activities when they tap the Action button. Avoid confusing people by providing an alternative way to do the same thing.
