HealthKit Not Syncing

If your Apple Health data is not appearing in VitalSync, follow these steps.

Step 1 — Check Permissions

Open Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → VitalSync.

Ensure all required data types are toggled on.

If any are off, toggle them on and return to VitalSync.

Step 2 — Force Sync

Tap the Force Sync button at the top of the VitalSync Dashboard. This triggers an immediate pull from Apple Health.

Step 3 — Check Apple Watch Connection

If you use an Apple Watch:

Ensure your watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth.

Open the Watch app on your iPhone and check that Health data sharing is enabled.

Step 4 — Restart the App

Close VitalSync completely (swipe up from the app switcher) and reopen it.

Step 5 — Check iOS Version

VitalSync requires iOS 16 or later. Go to Settings → General → Software Update to check for updates.

Step 6 — Reinstall

If none of the above work, delete and reinstall VitalSync. Your Apple Health data will re-sync automatically. Note: manually entered data in VitalSync (not synced to Health) will be lost.
