Hello! I understand you're encountering a "wrong format" error 500 when trying to save data in the iHealth MyVitals app on your iPhone. I'd like to help you get this sorted out. To start, can you tell me a bit more about when exactly this error appears? Is it during entering measurements, syncing data, or another action? Also, have you tried saving different types of data, and does the error happen every time? This information will help me pinpoint the cause.
Meanwhile, here are some initial steps to try that might resolve the issue:
1. Restart the App: Close the iHealth MyVitals app completely and then reopen it. This can clear temporary glitches.
2. Restart Your iPhone: Sometimes a simple reboot helps with app errors.
3. Check for Updates: Make sure both iOS (version 18.6.2) and the iHealth MyVitals app are up to date. Updates often fix bugs.
4. Verify Data Input Format: The “wrong format” might indicate the data you are entering does not meet the expected format. For example, if entering blood pressure, ensure values are numbers in the right fields (e.g., systolic/diastolic). Double-check for any letters or symbols that don’t belong.
5. Clear App Cache (if possible): While iOS doesn’t offer a direct cache clearing, uninstalling and reinstalling the app can remove corrupted temporary files that could trigger errors.
6. Check Network Connection: Error 500 is typically a server-side error, which might signal a temporary issue with the app’s backend. Ensure your internet connection is stable.
If you’ve already tried these or the problem persists, please let me know what you’ve done so far. I’ll be happy to guide you through more in-depth troubleshooting or assist with contacting our support team if needed. Are these steps clear so far?
Thanks for sharing those extra details! Since your iHealth MyVitals app is successfully pulling data from the monitor but won't save it to the phone, and you’ve already restarted both your iPhone and internet server, it points toward either a syncing or a server communication issue.
Error 500 typically indicates a server-side issue, meaning something might be wrong with the iHealth backend services that handle saving your data. Based on recent user reports, some users have experienced similar error 500 problems when trying to save blood pressure or other health data, and it looks related to temporary server issues on iHealth’s side48.
Here’s what I recommend trying next:
1. Check Account Login Status: Sometimes being logged out or session issues can cause errors when saving data. Make sure you are logged fully into your iHealth account within the app.
2. Try Saving When Connected to a Different Network: Occasionally, stricter firewalls or network configurations may interfere with data syncing to the server. Attempt saving your data on a different Wi-Fi network or switch to cellular data to see if that helps.
3. Wait and Retry After Some Time: Since error 500 is a server error, it might be temporary. Wait 30 minutes to an hour and try saving your data again.
4. Reinstall the App: If you haven’t done this yet, uninstall the iHealth MyVitals app and reinstall it fresh from the App Store to clear any corrupted files.
5. Check Permissions: Go to your iPhone Settings > Privacy > Health, and ensure iHealth MyVitals has the necessary permissions to write data to your phone and Apple Health app.
If none of these steps work, the issue might still be server-side, and I recommend contacting iHealth support directly at [email protected] for assistance or to confirm if there is any ongoing server maintenance or outages causing this trouble.
Would you like help going through these steps, or shall we check your account/permissions settings now? Let me know how you’d like to proceed!

It won’t let me save data to my phone. It pulls it correctly from the monitor. I restarted phone and my internet server
