Pre-installed Apple Health app, on iPad with iOS 12.4.9

Hey there Camelia,

We'd like to help get your iPad working with the Health app.

As the Health app is built-in, it wouldn't necessarily delete from the iPad, but rather, it sounds like you deleted it from the Home Screen. This would explain why you're not seeing it when searching in the App Store.

Have you already tried searching for it in your iPhone? If not, you'll use the steps here to search for 'Health': Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Another thing to rule out would be if it was accidentally hidden. Check the section 'About unhiding apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch' here: Hide purchases from the App Store

If you need more help, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support here: Get Support

Take care!

To me, this Apple article:

Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - Apple Support

suggests the Health app is not offered for iPads. I have two iPads next to me from which no Apple apps have been deleted. One is running iOS 12.5 and the other running iPadOS 14.3. Neither has the health app among the pre-installed software.
