Award without badge in Jan

Hi everyone,


We encountered a strange behaviour with regard to the January challenge: on Jan 1st, only the description was shown, but not the badge (yes, not even the usual grey outline). Tapping on the black space enlarged the view as usual, still showing the text on the bottom, i.e. this was like a ghost badge.

While this changed for me on the 2nd or 3rd (highest versions iOS 13 and watchOS 6), on my girlfriend's iPhone it's still not visible (highest versions of iOS 12 and watchOS 5 [iPhone 5S -> no further upgrade possible]).

In the list of the monthly challenges, it's not even shown as "ghost badge", i.e. no black space with text. After she had achieved the challenge, the "ghost badge" showed up under the recent ones, but still not in the list further down. In the day view of that date, there is a black space with no description (so, there was something achieved), but in the shared data on my iPhone or Watch, I don't see it (while others of hers are shown).


Has anybody seen something like this?

All January updates were done, she rebooted both devices several times, she cut the connections via the control centres (but no un-pairing yet as she is worried about losing all other achievements).


Thanks for any further hints...

Do you plan on updating your iPhone to iOS 13, Eric? So far the issue seems to be happening with iOS 12/Watch OS 5 so it would be interesting to know if the issue is still there with iOS 13/Watch OS 5. Of course, when your iPhone is on iOS 13, you can then install Watch OS 6 which should eliminate the problem (for you, at least!) based on the original post here.


Today, the January Challenge has disappeared from my Recent Awards completely!
