Data Source

All health tasks can read data recorded by any app (including third-party apps) to the Health app.

Certain health tasks can also record data back to the Health app.

This setting allows you to choose if the task reads only data recorded by this task.

Example

1. You use the Apple Watch Mindfulness app to record mindfulness
2. You then use Streaks to also record mindfulness.

If the Data Source setting is set to “All Data”, then the task will show progress from both the Mindfulness app and from Streaks.

If the Data Source setting is set to “This Task Only”, then task will only show progress from the data recorded by this task in Streaks.
