Activity GPS issues after watchOS 7 and iOS 14 updates

The exactly same thing happened to me. I run with Fitness app, it records how long I ran, but it doesn’t show the path I did. I did what other suggested tonight, let’s see tomorrow if it helps. This is not the first time it happens after I upgrade Apple Watch OS.

Posting a second time, I did follow the option of unpairing my watch and erasing my iPhone 11 pro. After restoring my iPhone and re-pairing my S4 watch things turned for the worse. My watch is no longer counting steps. The stand hours graph now has several holes where I previously had hours counted. I did have three different workouts today (outdoor walk, indoor walk, and indoor run). None of them show on my Activity app on the watch or the Fitness app on my iPhone. My watch will no longer unlock when I unlock my iPhone nor will my watch unlock my MacBook. Getting weird by the moment...

Thanks for confirming iPhone restore didn’t help as was last thing I could have tried and last thing I want to do quite frankly. Comfortable in the decision to wait for Apple Engineers to fix this one.

I'm having the same issue - my workouts are not transferring to the updated fitness app but the exercise minutes/move calories do transfer over. I also use another app called "zones" and workout data/heart rate info is also not transferring over to that. I have tried unpairing/re-pairing my watch and also reached out to Apple Support- they put a ticket in to try to get me more help. I hope the issue is resolved soon, it's frustrating not being able to see my heart rate data now (I know first world problems but still!)

I've got the problem too. Although mine is delayed somewhat as I upgraded last Friday. I did several running and cycling workouts that all registered the route including yesterday mornings 25 mile bike ride. Then last night's walk and this mornings run have the issue.

Also, the battery in my iPhone X is dropping like a rock.

My watch has been having the same problems. Tried doing the update to 14.0.1 on my series 9 iphone and newest update for the watch 7.0.1. Went for a run after the updates were complete and my route was still not showing up on the map after I finished the run. Getting frustrated. Any other ideas?

I'm having this exact same issue. Ever since I updated to WatchOS7, no GPS data is being stored or transferred to my Fitness app. I'm using an Apple Watch Series 3. Prior to the update, all GPS data from my walks or runs were shown. Now, nothing.

yo tambien he registrado eso mismo que comentas es una pena que hagan esto con un reloj s4 que hace nada era lo ultimo.

por lo que recomiendo que miren por los clientes por que ya estamos un poco cansados de la manzanita.

lo actualizamos todo y convierten nuestros dipositivos en unos autenticos trastos .

I just got off with Apple Support as a follow-up. They had very specific steps to follow to (in theory) resolves the issue,

BUT...it involves doing a backup to iCloud (not a computer). When I said that I don't use iCloud other than the included 5GB of space and hence that wouldn't be enough to do the backup, I was told that I'd have to PAY for the extra space to do the backup.

I created a complaint case for this, but it is beyond ridiculous that Apple wants to charge ME to fix THEIR problem.

I am experiencing a slightly different problem. Workouts do count for the exercise ring but they do not appear like workouts on the watch or on the app. They are simply missing.

Not sure what is going on. I will be riding on Sunday and I would not like to have this problem.

Same problem here with AW S5 and iPhone 11 Pro both running watch is 7 and iOS 14.

called Apple support and nothing helped. Activity syncs as minutes and kJ burned but no gps collection.

also on map shows start but not route with hiking.

Its very annoying and hopefully Apple fixes this ASAP.

Well, I lost 4 years of data because I used iCloud as my backup. Called Apple to know why and they told me to always make a backup using a pc/mac and to encrypt it with a passcode. Used that weeks later and it worked - for the new data I collected - but from those 4 years is gone :(

also, having the same issues as all of you. Latest detail; put my watch back on after the last update and it turned hot around my wrist I had to take it off. It burned so bad!! Don’t know what happend??

Whatever all these « handmade » solutions work or not, we should not be forced to do them. It’s Apple´s job to released an update without bug like this one ! Especially after a so long beta testing phase ! Come on Apple ! Do your job and fix this bug quickly

I’ve got the same issue with my series 2. I updated my phone to ios14 and my watch is up to date on 6.8.1 for the series 2. After Tuesday’s run no outdoor walks or runs are showing gps data beside the start point. Apple support is baffled. I’ve got through all there suggestions

I had the same issue before upgrading to watch OS 7 on my series 3, after upgrading my phone to iOS 14 (11 pro max).

updated watch to OS7 and the same issue.

Also treated myself to a new Watch series 6 and the same issue. Apple have no answer currently!
