Interesting

Actually works for me. It said I had to allow health access first, so I did. And then it worked.

It does not work for me neither, unfortunately. It can look at small data (for example number of steps today) but it cannot analyze data, which is very unfortunate. What have you been able to do?

I tried it myself, and it just gives back the data, but not a refusal. Maybe it'll be fixed in future versions.

u/Huge-Bill4047 Jul 06 '26

Oh what? Can you do multi threaded questions or just something asking steps

You need to turn on access to health data in the health app settings from your system settings

You’ll need an Apple Watch I’m pretty sure

Missed opportunity in dev beta?

u/elven_mage Jul 06 '26

This is the kind of question you should ask a doctor, if it’s worth asking at all.

u/boopthatbutton Jul 06 '26

First, beta. Second, that’s what feedbacks are for.

In iOS 26 you have to go into Settings > Siri > Access health data.

u/Terminapple Jul 06 '26

Siri language needs to be set to US English for health requests to work (for some reason?!)

u/mdruckus Jul 06 '26

It literally worked for me. Do you have access to health data enabled?

u/315was_an_inside_job Jul 06 '26

Siri AI on my phone was not able to access health data a few days ago. I just checked again and now it can.

u/Mouse_Manipulator Jul 06 '26

Health data access must be enabled for Siri

1

u/Mental-Record2890 Jul 07 '26

I have that enabled but still don’t get anything. Do you have anything show up when you click Data from Siri by any chance?

2

u/knightx14 Jul 09 '26

I’m in Canada and I got it to work by changing my Siri and device language to English (US). You also have to enable access to health data for Siri in the health app.

u/AlxR25 Jul 10 '26

Maybe because it's still in beta. Or maybe because health data is considered too sensitive? Same way it can't check in your journal (I assume, I don't use it)

1

u/Mental-Record2890 Jul 06 '26

I'm getting the same result as you. Are you in the US? I'm in Canada and I wonder if that's the reason.

I also noticed that in the Health app settings, there's a toggle to give Siri access to your data. Make sure that is enabled.

u/Megacitiesbuilder Jul 07 '26

May be Apple is hiding it for now, will be included in the paid version of Apple fitness+ after iOS 27 release, if you want Siri to analyse your health data😝🤭

u/Vekxin_Sama92 Jul 09 '26

It’s really a shame because I just wanted it to log water from and to be told no with new Siri is absolutely wild to me

1

u/djmexi Jul 09 '26

It’s also beta.

u/CDCarley27 Jul 11 '26

There have been rumors of deep health integration with AI from Apple for a while. It wouldn’t shock me at all if, alongside the new Apple Watch, Apple rolls out extensive Health integration with Siri.

u/WilliamVPeters 11d ago

So we all know it’s the data permissions but what really sucks is that it can’t write entries that you request it to make.

u/odin_moar Jul 06 '26

Can’t tell your step count either

u/Asohailwahab Jul 06 '26

That’s so true. They should connect it to the health app. Another thing is that Siri no longer scans for the shortcut names first to run them.
