Hidden Apple Health Asset in ChatGPT iPhone App Points to In-Development Connector

The code discovery signals preparatory work only under Apple’s user-consent HealthKit rules.

Overview

  • Developers found a concealed Apple Health icon and related asset in the latest ChatGPT iOS build, first surfaced by Aaron Perris and reported by MacRumors.
  • Asset names reference potential access to specific Health categories including activity, sleep, diet, breathing, and hearing for personalized responses.
  • The functionality is inactive in the shipped app with no announcement or timeline from OpenAI or Apple, and it may never be enabled.
  • If released, the option would likely appear in ChatGPT’s Apps & Connectors settings, consistent with how the app links to services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Gmail, and Slack.
  • Reporters note user privacy concerns, and any integration would rely on HealthKit’s explicit, per‑category permissions, with some outlets speculating on future timing without confirmation.
