Apple Watch Activity Sharing Not Working

Activity sharing isn’t working amongst family members who are also using family sharing. Different family members activity are greyed out intermittently or appear on the phone, but not the watch. Incredibly frustrating. Have forced closed apps, have restarted iPhones and watches. Have done hard resets of phone and watches. Have unpaired and repaired watches. Have signed out and back in of Apple IDs. Have erased iPhone contents and watch contents and restored from a backup on each. Nothing seems to help the problem.

Hello Ditty739, 


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand you are intermittently unable to share activity with your friends and family.


You’ll find helpful steps and recommendations to get you back up and running linked below.


Get help with Activity Sharing

To compete with friends, you need iOS 12 and watchOS 5 or later. Activity Sharing requires iOS 10 and watchOS 3 or later.

If you paired more than one Apple Watch to your iPhone, the Sharing tab won’t appear in Activity until you update all your watches to the latest version of watchOS.”


If you don’t get updates about your friend’s activity

As long as your iPhone can connect to the Internet and you’re signed in to iCloud, you can get updates about your friend’s activity each day. If your iPhone can’t connect for multiple days or you sign out of iCloud, you might see missing days.” 


Have a good one!
