If you don’t do that, your Health data won’t be backed up. If you backup your iPhone to your computer via iTunes, and you want your Health data to be backed up, you must check Encrypt iPhone Backup in iTunes. All data that is backed up to the iCloud is encrypted, so if you are backing up to iCloud, you have nothing to worry about, your Health data will be encrypted. Your health data can be backed up either to iCloud, or to your computer via iTunes. Warning!!! Don’t give your password to anyone who you don’t trust with your private data. When your health data is backed up, it is always encrypted, so that even if someone got access to the backed up data, they are not able to view your data without having your password. Since all of your health and fitness data is stored in the Health app, it’s critical that you back up this data frequently. ![]()
