iPhone SE 2nd gen, iOS 16.6, health app
I am trying to set my blood type but I get "blood type not set"
Tapping box does nothing.
How do I set my blood type?

I was having the same problem. I would tap the row and it would just bring up a screen about sharing the data.
Turns out I was overlooking the "Edit" button in the upper-right of the screen. But this is also on iOS 17.2, so it might not help if you are on some other version.

Thanks, finally got it entered.
On my SE, I had to delete blood type first, then add, then select blood type from the scroll list, then hit done.
thanks again Chatanoogan!
That’s an interesting observation.
Mine is set in Medical ID so that it’s available to First Responders if I’m non-responsive …
But as to how it gets set in Health Details … 🤷🏼
Re: “… Are you referring to the app called "MedID … “
No I’m not.
I’m referring to the Medical ID built-in to Apple’s iOS health app.
Set up your Medical ID in the Health app on your iPhone - Apple Support
Chatanoogn, Are you referring to the app called "MedID"?
If so, it appears to be just a data base and does not meet HIPPA requirements.
I downloaded MedID but did not get past enrolling and finding at the very end a (gasp) another subscription!
Under the Apple Health app, I am trying to enter blood type under Health Details, where there are fields for name, date of birth, sex, blood type and skin type. Blood type is indicated as “not listed”. When I tap it to try to enter my blood type, there is nothing that allows me to enter a type. No drop down menu, no field I can populate by typing, no way to otherwise indicate my blood type. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Glad you were able to get it sorted. 👋
