Understanding Apple Health Sync Timing

Apple has strict guidelines for background processing, battery usage, and locked device states. Here’s what to expect:

  • Immediate updates occur when myHC360+ is open.

  • Background updates happen about once per hour, but only if the app remains open in the background.

  • If there’s a large queue of data, full syncing will resume only when the app is reopened.

  • Phone must be unlocked for syncing—no updates occur while the phone is locked (this is a privacy feature).

  • Restarting an iPhone re-enables background updates, so users don't need to manually open the app.

  • Certain data types (e.g., steps) only trigger updates once per hour, regardless of new data availability.
