iOS 14 / Watch OS 7 Fitness and Health Apps issues

Problem number 1 and 3 have been happening for me as well. Support said they're looking into it. For me, it started with my walking/running path location not showing up with my workout in my fitness app and then evolved into workouts no longer syncing with my phone at all. Pairing and repairing didn't help at *all* and made the issue worse.

I ended up backing up and restoring my phone and watch and while it took a good long time to get everything set, it is now syncing data properly between my devices. So far, it seems workouts are saving properly with map and heart rate data. The info in health matches what’s in the fitness app.

However, it looks like the GPS routes for all my past runs are gone. There’s a map with a starting point, but nothing else. From what I can tell, all the backup data has finished syncing but losing all that data is a pretty huge bummer. Makes me feel a lot less confident about using these things going forward.

Just in case anyone hasn't already, it would be super useful to Apple if developers experiencing these issues can capture some debugging logs by following the instructions here:

- https://download.developer.apple.com/iOS/iOS_Logs/HealthKit_Logging_Instructions.pdf

- https://download.developer.apple.com/iOS/watchOS_Logs/HealthKit_Logging_Instructions__Watch.pdf

and attaching the resulting logs to a bug report here : https://feedbackassistant.apple.com

So this appears to be the official solution for now:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211865

I did the entire reset of both my iPhone and Apple Watch as detailed above. As time consuming and inconvenient as it is, it appears to have corrected all of the issues I had with the flow of health data from my watch to my health app and onward to other apps such as LoseIt and AutoSleep.

I found this (https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT211865) detailed step-by-step process provided by Apple to solve the "sync-problem", as I would refer to it, as my watch does everything ok, but Activity/Fitness and AutoSleep data is being corrupted on the iPhone 14.1 after the sync.

I followed the process to the letter and now everything is working fine after 24hrs testing, my exercises and sleep are correct recorded.

Still, Apple needs to fix the bug, we should not be required to reset and restore to bypass bugs like this.

One more thing, other people who has tried the process has complained about loss of historical data, I did not loose anything, but be aware that the Fitness app is slowly syncing data from your iCloud backup for hours, even after everything on the iPhone and Watch looks done and settled, but check out the tiny message at the bottom of the Fitness screen which says something like "Loading data from iCloud...."

not happy. I upgraded phone 3 days ago new iOS 14 and fitness app and Attain health app not syncing.

now 1 years of data has gone. My weeks fitness goals that were met gone which costs me money with my Attain health app.

I have noticed that while fitness app tracks distance correctly it seems to stop tracking heart rate after about 10 minute and also no map data.

hello, today I updated the WatchIOS ( 7.0.2).Then I tried to verify a workout ( outdoor walk). My Watch shows the session. My Fitness App update only the rings but not the session. This is my Fiteness App Screen whit the inconsistency of sessions.

Do you have the same issue?

Updating (less than 24 hours in)...

Since updating to 14.1

*resting calories still off by around 20%

*maps still not tracing outdoor workouts

*stand notches still randomly don’t turn blue

*health app still taking up 1.61 TB on my 128 phone

In summation, not fixed.

When I went into try some of the fixes I found this issue.

in Activity App under Walking and Running Distance then go to Data sources and access when I go to the sources my Apple Watch it starts out showing the current date and steps and then goes back to steps from 2019.... Changes right before my eyes.

Other issue also but steps and active calories seems to be worst.

I’m having issues with #1 & 4 but my issues with resting energy is a little different. I pretty much wear the watch all day, including while sleeping. Resting energy dropped from about 2600-2900 cal/day on average to 600-1000 cal/day following the update to OS 7. It’s causing all kinds of problem with LoseIt.

Also none of my sleep tracking apps work anymore.

I am having the same issues above which all started after updating to iOS 14. My watch is tracking steps correctly and shows in fitness app but health app is completely wrong. I have the Fitbit app also installed and the seems to be functioning correctly using the inbuilt iPhone motion sensors.

autosleep app no longer works and says the watch was not on my wrist for most of the night.

I have tried multiple fixes such as re-pairing watch but nothing works. Glad at least that not only person experiencing this

Yeah, me too. it’s starting to get really annoying. Main reason I got the watch was for LoseIt and that function’s totally screwed. It’s not getting my workouts anymore and it thinks I’m laying in bed all day on top of that.

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I'm also having major issues with my Series 5 following the watch OS 7 update including:

-workouts not syncing from watch to fitness app; no details in the Health app either

-when manually entering workout data into the Health App the calories entered aren't being counted against daily goal.

-calories not being counted. On one day it reached 577 and just stopped counting no matter my movement or activity.

-calories that are being counted is wildly inaccurate! I workout 3 x a day somedays and these numbers i'm seeing are no where near normal.

-No heart rate data found in any of the work out information

-ECG is completely not functioning.

I've tried unpairing and repairing more times than ever before, factory reset the watch and spent an hour on the phone with support without resolution. This has been extremely annoying, frustrating and time consuming.

Apple needs to fix this.

Good news, everyone!

Go update to iOS 14.1. LoseIt retroactively added my steps/workouts for the past few days and everything is syncing as it should again vis a vis the watch (on my end at least). Woohoo!
