Deleting Health app

Apple says you cant delete the Health App. I find it creepy that it tracks the steps I take. Does it send that data to Apple?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

No.

I find it creepy that it tracks the steps I take.

If this continues to concern you, change settings at Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness.

Why is it creepy, it's an health app, same thing if you bought one of those exercise watch.


Why would Apple want to know how many steps you've taken, is it really important to them to collect that?
