Changes I'd like to see on health app

[CTHarrryH]

I like to see some changes in the Health App - similar to other apps - I'd like the ability to specify whether I'd like to keep the data forever or 1 year or 1 month, etc. should be for each data category (steps, distance, flights).
Now it just keeps the data forever.

That is a good idea. In the mean time, I believe you manually delete data you no longer want stored.

it takes up very little space, and the data is used for you move streaks etc.
My health data of 8+ years in iCloud takes up just a little over 500MB, 2.6GB on phone.

IF that were to become a change, then it should be implemented as "forever" as default ...

I'm curious what the benefit would be of deleting health data? To me the more you have, the more of a wholistic picture you can form of your overall health. What am I missing?

It might be relatively small amount of data but it is data stored.
Default can be forever but I'd like option to easily delete - I know you can delete but it is 1 day at a time.
