Some general information about Health and the internal iPhone step tracker:
- You can only track steps with the iPhone itself from the model 5S and higher (Note: 5C has Health but no motion coprocessor for step tracking)
- iPads do not have Health installed so if you want to sync Lifesum data between an iPad and Health you need to first sync the data from your iPad to an iPhone and from there to Health and vice versa. If you track anything on an iPad and want to sync the data to Health you need to sync that data within 24 hours to your iPhone - otherwise the original data from the iPad will only be synced to Lifesum on the phone but not to Health
- Health has been introduced with iOS8, any operating system lower than that does not include Health. Please note that iOS8 can only be installed on iPhones from 4S and higher. It is not working on the iPhone 4
