What's happened? Despite Apple may soon switch to GeminiLeaks show that ChatGPT has not yet been abandoned by Apple. A recent analysis of the ChatGPT iPhone app code revealed a hidden Apple Health icon, which could be a clue that OpenAI may soon allow ChatGPT to access data from Apple Health. While the feature isn't live yet, a hidden “connector” suggests it could be implemented as early as 2026. If implemented, this will allow ChatGPT to read metrics such as activity, sleep, diet, breathing and more (with your permission) and tailor responses based on real-world health data.
- As noted McRumorsRows within the app relate to health categories such as activity, sleep, diet, breathing and hearing, indicating the range of data that can be shared.
- There is currently no official launch date as the integration remains speculative and offline.
- This feature will appear under ChatGPT Applications and Connectors Tabsimilar to how it already integrates with cloud services and productivity tools.
Why is this important: If this actually happens, it could transform Apple Health from a static stats tracker into a partner in the “health conversation.” Instead of manually checking metrics or looking at charts, you can ask ChatGPT questions like “How am I sleeping lately?” or “Should I adjust my workouts based on last week’s data?” and receive personal feedback. This can make health tracking much more intuitive, especially for people who aren't particularly savvy with data analytics.
It also signals a potential rethink of what health apps can do: moving from passive logging to active recommendations. For busy people, this can mean the difference between recording steps every now and then and actually using your data to create better habits, combined with someone (or something in this case) to guide you in a friendly manner.
Why should I care? If you use Apple Health, or even just look at it every now and then, it can completely change the way you understand your data. Instead of digging through your charts, you'll soon be able to ask simple questions like, “Was I more active this week than last week?” and actually get a helpful, human response. For those interested in fitness, sleep or wellness but allergic to spreadsheets, ChatGPT can be a friendly translator between raw numbers and real information.
Okay, so what next? For now, since it's still early and unconfirmed, treat it as a “maybe.” However, if you see “Apple Health” under Apps & Connectors, that's your signal. It's also worth keeping a close eye on your privacy settings: when this feature launches, you may want to carefully check the permissions on what data you're sharing, what ChatGPT can see, and whether you're comfortable with it before letting the AI view your vital signs. Alternatively, you can just wait for Apple to release your own artificial intelligence trainer.
