Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Apple Health integration?

  When you connect Apple Health to Headspace, your Today tab starts to feel a little more like it was made just for you. We use your sleep and activity data to suggest content that fits how you're actually feeling that day, so the right meditation, breathwork, or sleep content finds you at the right time.

• Do I need an Apple Watch or a wearable to use this?

  Not at all. This feature works with just your iPhone. If you do use a wearable that connects to Apple Health, such as an Apple Watch, Oura, Fitbit, Whoop, etc., that works, too. Headspace will use whatever sleep data you have available.

• Which Headspace subscription plans give me access to this experience?

  Any active Headspace subscription will allow you to connect to Apple Health. Not a member yet? You can get started with a free trial here.

• How do I connect Apple Health to Headspace?

  Head to your Profile > Settings > Connected Devices and tap Apple Health. We'll show you a quick overview of what we'd like to access and why, then iOS will ask you to confirm. It only takes a moment, and you can adjust your permissions at any time in the Apple Health app.

• I use a non-Apple device like Fitbit, Whoop, or Oura — will this work for me?

  Yes, most wearables sync their data with Apple Health automatically. If yours does, Headspace will pick it up, and you'll get the same personalized experience with no extra steps needed.

• I just use my iPhone, no wearable. Does this still apply to me?

  Absolutely. If you use the Sleep Focus feature on your iPhone, have a sleep schedule set, or use a sleep app on your phone, Headspace can work with that data. No extra hardware required.

• How is my health data protected?

  Your privacy matters to us. Here's what you should know:

  • You're always asked for permission before any data is accessed.
  • We only use your data to personalize your Headspace experience, nothing else.
  • We never share your health data with advertisers or third parties.
  • You can disconnect or ask us to delete your data at any time.
• I connected my Apple Health account with Headspace. Why isn't my Today tab personalized yet?

  A few things to check:

  • If you just connected, give it up to 24 hours, as it can take a little time for things to sync up.
  • Make sure Headspace has permission to access your Health data in iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > Headspace.
