Hidden image suggests ChatGPT app might get Apple Health integration

Macworld

The latest version of the ChatGPT iPhone app contains within its code an unused (as of yet) image that seems to indicate upcoming Apple Health integration. The image shows the main Health icons, surrounded by several health category images: steps, activity, respiratory, hearing, sleep…and a carrot, for some reason (there is no carrot icon in the Health app). It’s possible ChatGPT generated the image and embellished it.

There is no information yet on when this feature might be enabled or what it will be used for, but ChatGPT already connects and integrates with many other apps, such as Box, GitHub, Gmail, Slack, and others, to help give you personalized answers to questions and data insights.




ChatGPT may soon have access to some data from the Health app on your iPhone, according to this image posteds by Macrumors.MacRumors

We should note that there is no evidence of any sort of partnership here, or a suggestion that suddenly ChatGPT will just have access to all your Health info. Apple provides frameworks and APIs for third-party apps to access data from the Health app, and there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of apps that do so.

Users have to specifically enable the integration, and you have fine control over whether data can be written to your Health app or only read, and exactly which categories of data you want to make available. ChatGPT is likely just using the same HealthKit framework that every other app uses.

But if you’ve always wanted ChatGPT to know more about your vitals, that may soon be a reality.
