How to Delete the Health Data Your Android Is Tracking | Lifehacker

Android phones can independently monitor health metrics through applications like Google Fit and Samsung Health, tracking activities such as steps taken, active minutes, and calories burned. Google Fit uses Health Connect to manage health data locally on the smartphone, ensuring encryption, while data synchronized to the cloud is not end-to-end encrypted. Samsung Health also stores data locally with encryption via Knox technology, and offers cloud storage options that are not end-to-end encrypted, though an Enhanced Data Protection mode is available for Samsung Galaxy S24 series users. Users can check and manage their health data tracking preferences in both applications, including options to delete data or stop tracking specific metrics.
