The Curious Case of the Missing Health App on iPads Hello fellow iPad users and enthusiasts, I hope this post finds you all in good health and spirits. Today, I wanted to bring up a matter that has baffled many of us iPad users – the conspicuous absence of the Health app on our beloved tablets. As we all know, Apple's Health app has been a staple on the iPhone since the release of iOS 8 in 2014. The app has proven to be incredibly useful for tracking various health and fitness metrics, along with offering valuable insights into our overall well-being. But why hasn't this handy app made its way to the iPad? While the iPad is not exactly a device you would take on a jog or to the gym, it still offers significant value for users who want to access and analyze their health data. Many people use their iPads as productivity tools and for consuming content; it seems like a logical extension to have the Health app available for tracking and analyzing health information as well. Here are a few reasons why I think the Health app deserves a spot on our iPads: Centralized Data Hub: A primary advantage of the Health app is the ability to consolidate health data from various sources, including third-party apps and wearables. Having the Health app on the iPad would allow users to access and analyze their data on a larger screen, making it easier to understand and derive insights from the information. Enhanced Accessibility: For users who primarily use an iPad as their primary device, having the Health app on their tablet would mean they do not have to switch between devices to access their health data. This would be especially beneficial for those with accessibility needs, as the iPad's larger screen can be easier to navigate and read. Given the utility and benefits that the Health app could bring to iPad users, it's perplexing why Apple has not yet introduced this app on its tablets. Are there technical limitations or other concerns that we are unaware of? I am eager to hear your thoughts on this topic. Do you feel the absence of the Health app on your iPad? Would you find it useful if it were available? Let's have a constructive discussion and perhaps even bring this issue to Apple's attention. Stay healthy and happy!

Add or edit activity in health app I am trying to find out how to edit or add an activity in the health app but all the posts I can find are a few years old & it looks like the health app has changed since the posts. I do not have a health data tab at the bottom of the app (just summary & browse) & I cannot find a plus button anywhere to add/edit. Can anyone help?
