Putting health and wellness at the forefront, Apple has greatly improved its stock health app. Features like exercise tracking, cycle tracking, hearing health and sleep tracking have made it a great tool for fitness freaks and health-conscious people alike. The app keeps track of all your data including heart rate, walking/running steps and more so you can track your progress and even share your data. While many prefer to keep their health data indefinitely, I like to delete them after a period of time – especially when those chunks of data are no longer needed. Not only does it prevent the Health app from using up plenty of storage, it also helps keep it clutter-free.
