How do I request more health permissions from existing users?

To request more permissions from existing users, call initConnection again with an expanded set of customPermissions.

To request more permissions from existing users, call initConnection again with an expanded set of customPermissions. Generate a fresh auth token first, and make sure initTerra has been called. The connection keeps the existing user_id.

What the user sees:

  • Apple Health: the popup shows only the newly added permissions.

  • Samsung Health and Google Fit: users must approve all permissions again.

Apple shows the HealthKit popup only once per permission set, and apps cannot read which permissions were granted or denied, so adding new permissions is the only way to re-trigger it without reinstalling.

If permissions remain denied, guide the user to enable them manually in iOS Settings, under Health data access.

See permissions mapping for the available permissions.
