There is a way to transfer Health data to your newly-acquired iPhone device. Here's how:

Are you planning to get the new iPhone 6s; Is it possible to transfer your data from the pre-installed application "Health", of the previous iOS your device.

Its usefulness is focused both on monitoring a user's health habits and the physical condition of the individual.

For many users, recovering data from backups on a new device is not standard practice. With the functions of the service iCloud, all your data is very easily synchronized in the newly-acquired iOS your device.

But there are reasons why a user might want to restore their data from a backup to the new iPhone 6s ή iPhone 6 Plus and one of them is personal health data. You have the option to keep a backup of the data "Health", alongside the rest of your current iPhone data. The solution is called "Encrypted backup", an action that will fully restore your data to the new device.

Previously, keeping this personal data backed up was impossible, and you would have to seriously consider resetting the device or getting a new one. iPhone, if these items were of paramount importance to you. Η Apple now offers the ability to keep an encrypted backup in the application iTunes.
