after going thru all my contacts that have an iPhone and deleting them one by one, I found I was sharing with one contact for some reason After delete this contact, the health app stopped accessing contacts. After reading a number of posts on this subject I believe that it is just a system bug and could be addressed by apple.Apple now lets use view things that we couldn’t before and while it is beneficial, it also causes anxiety among privacy advocates I am one of those persons and I have had to learn that some of the inconsistencies are really just mundane and are not harmful to my privacy Thanks apple community for putting my fears to rest

Hey Bosco313,
It appears that you're sharing your Health data with others, and you'd like for it to stop. We're glad to glad to provide assistance.
Share your data in Health on iPhone - Apple Support -- Open the Health app, tap "Sharing" at the bottom, then select either "stop Sharing or Remove Account.
Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.
All the best.
I have read the help section and have tried everything short of wiping my phone but I cannot get the health app to stop accessing contacts thru “messages “. I have stopped all sharing, gone thru every contact but this still persist …. I really don’t want to wipe my phone
Thank you, I will post my results
