Activity GPS issues after watchOS 7 and iOS 14 updates

Very interested in this topic as well as I have the same problem since I have done the update yesterday. Tried to unpair/pair (from backup as well as from new device) but so far nothing changed. Very disappointing! Hope a solution will be found very soon!

Exact same experience, plus all of the routes for activities dating back years have disappeared! This is a tragedy from my perspective. Those routes are some of my most prized data, covering hikes and runs all over North America. If a fix from Apple doesn’t bring those back I’ll be devastated!

If only I found this thread Saturday I first found runs had problems, both gps and then entirely missing. Initially thought Healthfit and Strava had problems before seeing that Workout Activities and Health had problem earlier in the syncing. No more hours wasted problem-solving, will wait on Apple, but at least no not alone now!

Incidentally, Strava Apple watch 4 App sends correct GPS route and map data through to Strava on iPhone 11 max. What a shame it doesn’t show ‘’current pace’ when running activity, only Average Pace and Split Pace.

Also experiencing this with series 5 and 11 pro max. Along with no route data, workouts are disappearing completely despite rings closing, steps/move calories on the watch both randomly stop counting, resting energy is way off in the health app, nothing is syncing properly or even displaying the same information. Very frustrating as it makes the watch essentially useless as a fitness device at the moment, since nothing is accurate at all.

I have also tried restoring the watch and re-pairing, still having issues. Fingers crossed for a timely fix....

Same issue here, iPhone 11 iOS 14 and Watch 4 OS7. Working perfectly fine until made the update, my history is unaffected just workouts since the update showing no mapped info just starting point whilst using only the watch.

My Apple activity app and Apple Health app are no longer in sync. The activity app is accurately recording data, but the Health app isn't receiving all of it, i.e. fewer steps, no cycling data transferred, etc.

I have an issue with this as well. My watch (4 series) and health app and activity will not sync. My watch picks up activity, but doesn't make it to the phone. Health app no longer has any data and activity app says restoring from icloud. That's been going on for 24 hours. I've been on the phone with support for hours. So frustrating.

iPhone 8 Plus

Can confirm the GPS issue has been escalated as been on and off all day.

All the 'health' related data they're still gathering diagnostics etc so worth giving them a call if you are having any health related issues.

I have iphone 11 and apple watch 5. It worked fine the first two days. Today, it the activity app just says loading. During my walk it kept crashing. Now the app has crashed. I still have old data.

I have the same issue. Haven't read all the thread yet, but tried resetting cal data (did not work) unpairing, re-pairing (did not work), reset watch to factory settings and set up as new (did not work). Distances, speeds, etc. are all fine; this seems to mostly be a question of saving the route.

I am seeing 'start location' in my activities under Workouts but no routes. HealthFit has retained all my workout routes. However, all of Activities' Workouts routes have now disappeared. This is pretty bad.

I am able to record properly when I use Strava directly (AW Strava app with AW → Strava iOS app direct upload).

AW Series 4, Apple Watch OS 7.0 (18R382)

iPhone 8 Plus, IOS 14.0

Exact same issue for me. Went out for a run this morning, no gps route recorded. It did Mark my starting point correctly.

It’s worked seamlessly before today. All privacy and location permissions are set correctly.

iPhone XR on iOS 14 beta.

All of my activity for the day will show up on my watch but not on my phone. If I restart both devices the activity shows up for a short period of time on my phone but then glitches and the app does not load any information.

I have a AppleWatch series2 with watchOS 6.2.8 and iPhone7 now updated to iOS14 from 13 (latest version). The series 2 cannot update to WatchOS 7, so the only update I have made is going from iOS13 to 14 on the iPhone. So I think the problems depend on a bad iOS 14. I don't know if it would be even worse if the watch had WatchOS 7.

I bought a new AppleWatch series 5 yesterday, but I dare not unpack it. It can´t (now) work well with my iPhone with bad iOS 14 and for it self probably will load with WatchOS 7 when I start it. If I can't unpack it and use it in 14 days I have to go back to the shop for return. Then I get my money back.... and considering buying a Polar or a Garmin for running.

Same issue as everyone else with Series 4 Watch & iPhone 11 Pro. Upgraded both on Friday and the watch correctly recorded a cycling workout Saturday morning but when I went to sync a walk workout to Strava today I got the 'no GPS' message others have, after which I noticed all map info in the Apple Fitness app workouts has disappeared from the very beginning. Very poor experience and incredibly frustrated with Apple. Also having the iPhone battery drain and hot battery issues. Hope they sort it out soon :(
