how to delete health app or stop it fro accessing my contacts!

The app privacy report indicates that the health app which I never use keeps accessing my contacts! Why?

Apparently I have given it permission! When? How to stop it

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

You don't give permission for Apple apps to access other Apple apps. Permissions are only used for third party apps. That is why the Phone app will show a name of a person in your Contacts instead of just the phone number. You also cannot stop that. The Mail app will show the name of the person instead of the email address and Messages will show the name of the person in your Contacts.


For deleting apps, you can review the information provided here:
