Q: How do I revert to the old Health dashboard after iOS 9.3 update?

The new bar chart display is terrible and only shows averages, not totals. I hate it and much prefer the old line graph. At the very least, there needs to be an option for multiple displays. I just lost my reason to actually use the app.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3

    To answer your question, there is no way to revert back to another version as it is part of the iOS.  There are currently no options to change what you are talking about, but I'd certainly recommend leaving any feedback for apple on apple.com/feedback

     

    Now in regards to the graphs, I can see both Daily Average and Total on mine...  shows up on any view (Day, Week, Month, Year) in the top right of the graph.  All views appear to show the current day total.  Week view and above also show the Daily Average depending on the timeframe selected which appears under the graph title in the top left.  What graph were you looking at specifically? Feel free to post a screenshot.

    The line graph has been changed into a bar graph. Please explain how to change back. Even the dashboard icon no longer is real.

    Come on Apple...change it back to a line graph. The bar graphs suck lemons. I am thinking about another app if this isn't changed. Maybe a fitbit.

    You aren't addressing Apple here. Any suggestions should be submitted to http://www.apple.com/feedback/. Apple really doesn't care if you use a Fitbit.

    Like everyone else in this thread, I HATE THE BAR CHART.  PLEASE, everyone, contact http://www.apple.com/feedback and let Apple know.

    The "Year" tab used to show the total for the month. Now it's just shows the daily average.  This is a bad change.  Submitted my feedback, please do the same.

    please update this feature, giving customers options to view their health tracker in different ways. The line graph was preferable.

    Please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ to provide this feedback to Apple.  Here I think you're just talking to people who agree with you.

    The strongest point of Health is it's ability to sync data to other applications. Look at the many, many, Health-enabled apps. In all likelihood, one of the will show graphs that you prefer.

    I agree with you that the bar graphs are ugly in its orange color and it is really hard to read them. The line graph would be better or at least an option to change to the line graph. And this color..... So I don't use it at all to analyze my fitness and other health functions. Is seems that this won't change/improve in iOS 10. Too bad. I am glad that at least the watch shows the date in a nicer way. And no mirror health app on ipad....

    I believe you must have missed the several posts in this thread explaining that Apple isn't reading here. If you want them to know what you want, use the feedback link given above.
