My iPhone X arrives tomorrow and I always like to set up my iPhone as a new phone rather than restore from a backup. Can anyone confirm now that health is stored in the cloud, does this include data in the activity app?

If not, I’ll have to use the decipher tool again like last year.

Thanks.

Health data is indeed stored in iCloud:

In addition, when you perform an encrypted backup to iTunes, your Health data is carried over as well. This can be restored on any new device in question.
