Please allow us to adjust health tracking for comic illnesses. Having ME or other conditions means that we can't be "active" every day and getting constant unhelpful reminders of how we need to move, when actually it can be dangerous do so, to improve the energy scale is super demolalising. I'd love to be able to exercise to improve my energy, but my illness doesn't work that way. Having reminders that your body is broken surely goes against the purpose of the app?
This would be a really simple fix. I'm using the Visible armband and app and they can monitor and adjust for my condition using hr & hrv, both of which the watch measures.
Also an improvement of battery life is definitely needed.
Yes. For the phone, you should make sure that notification categories are turned on. Settings/notifications/advanced settings/manage notification categories for all apps. Turn that on. Return to the notification settings for the Health app, tap the notification section, tap on notification categories. Turn on/off categories for which you do not want to receive notifications. On the watch, go to the Wear app watch settings/health. Tap on notifications and turn off those you don't want to be notified about. Then back out of that and scroll down to "inactive time" and turn the slider off. You won't be notified to move more.
In the meantime, you can remove the energy score from the health app home page, so you don't have to see it mocking you. The little reminder blurbs, not so much - everyone hates them, even healthy people. You can turn off the movement reminders if you are getting notifications to do so.
I think I've done what i can without losing all the other functions. I still would like to be able to use Health. Is there a way to remove individual feature notifications?
