Share my Apple

I understand your confusion. It does seem strange that you can see your medical data from other providers in your Apple Health app, but your doctor needs to approve data transfer in the other direction.

The reason for this is that Apple Health is designed to be a secure and private way to store your health data. When you share your data with a provider, they are given access to a secure view of your data. This view is limited to the data that you have specifically shared with them, and they cannot see any other data that you have stored in your Apple Health app.

In order to protect your privacy, Apple requires that providers approve data transfer before they can see your data. This means that your doctor will need to log into their provider portal and specifically approve the data transfer from your Apple Health app. Once they have approved the data transfer, they will be able to see the data that you have shared with them.

I hope this explanation helps to make sense of the situation. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
