iPhone & iPad

iPhone and iPad permissions

Manage Apple Health, camera, microphone, and photo-library access used by supported BeFit Tracker mobile workflows.

BeFit Tracker’s shared Apple mobile app supports iPhone and iPad. Some mobile capabilities depend on permissions you control.

Import supported records from Apple Health

Open BeFit Tracker’s connectivity or Health section, request authorization, and choose the supported categories you want to share in Apple’s Health privacy controls. BeFit Tracker can import authorized Steps, Sleep, Cycle, Mindfulness, and other supported records on iPhone and iPad. BeFit Tracker cannot override a denied permission.

Open the mobile settings area

Choose the Health connection

Health permission happens in the app first, then in Apple’s Health privacy controls. The app only imports the categories you allow.

Allow camera or photo access

Camera and photo-library access support profile images and user-food creation. Barcode/product lookup can also use the camera. Use the in-app permission route or Apple Settings to allow the appropriate access. With limited Photos access, add the desired image to the permitted selection.

Allow the camera when using photo workflows

Allow Camera for barcode lookup

Camera access supports barcode lookup and picture-based food creation. Photos access supports selecting an existing image when a workflow needs one.

Picture-based food discovery appears only when Apple Intelligence is available.

iPad uses the shared Apple mobile app.

The same permission principles apply on iPhone and iPad, while individual capabilities still depend on hardware, system availability, and the permission you grant.

Create a custom food with AI

On an eligible iPhone, a food picture can be classified with Apple Vision inside an Apple Intelligence workflow. The resulting description is used to search recipe websites for candidates that you review before importing. Take a Picture is hidden when Apple Intelligence is unavailable. Camera access is required to take the picture; network access is required for the recipe search.

Review the recognized dish

Choose from the recipe candidates

Permissions enable the workflow, but review still decides what gets saved.

Barcode lookup lives elsewhere

If your task is specifically scanning a package barcode, use Look up food by barcode. That guide covers the Open Food Facts scan and review workflow in detail so this page can stay focused on permissions.
