iOS 14 / Watch OS 7 Fitness and Health Apps issues

Having the exact same issue's. Contacted Virgin Plus support and just received generic suggestions. They have no idea upgrading to iOS 14 and watch OS 7 is causing such issues. Good to know I'm not alone.

Same thing happened to me. My watch was tracking my fitness but none of it was recording on my phone. In fact, the app wasn’t showing any signs of movement and erased past data after updating to ios14. I have an iPhone 11 and a Series 3 watch. Restarted both devices with no luck. Tried unpairing them, which didn’t work... until it did. Then I couldn’t get them to repair together. Nothing worked so eventually I factory reset my phone. Now the watch is connected but I STILL am not seeing my fitness tracking from the past 3 months? Plus, all my messages prior to the factory reset are gone. I’d argue the situation is worsen Both devices are new, the phone not being more than a month old and the watch not more than 3 and a half months old. No idea why this happened!!

I haven't checked that deeply what is synced or not. But for me the rings seem to be in sync between ios14/watchos7 but the step count is always out of sync, with around 20-30% less registered on the phone compared to the watch. I am on Series 4 cellular and have an iphone XR. Everything worked flawlessly until this recent OS updates.

I’m having exactly the same issue, since I’ve swapped from series 3 to series 6 watch there’s no data for this watch in my vo2max, it’s showing on other tabs just not this one. Anyone found a solution?

I had these issues but now I seem to have fixed the first issue of no workouts syncing (Series 5 watch watchOS 7.0.1 and iPhone 8 iOS 14.0.1).

On my apple watch I erased everything (on the watch: Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings), then synced back to the backup (it seems to backup automatically on reset).

Now workouts on the watch seem to show up in the Fitness App. I'm yet to venture out running to test the map though.

Same problems over here, AWS5, all health applications don’t work, heart rate,ECG,activity rings, sleep mode etc..

glad to see I’m not alone and that is software related. The new update worked fine for a week or two and then it happened. Tried updating to 7.0.1 and 14.0.1 to see if it helps, but it didn’t.

Much the same issues. Workouts seem to record correctly on watch, but the data (even stand data) makes it to the phone only in bits (lots of holes in the data). My sleep app (Autosleep) has stopped working because the phone does not receive all heart rate updates. My watch will no longer unlock my MBP; says it cannot communicate with the watch.

14.01/7.01; latest Catalina.

No amount of reset/reboot/re-pairing as new watch, etc. has helped.

Really frustrated; this was all working great b4 14/7

I enrolled in the public beta program for Apple Watch and got the beta for WatchOS 7.1. Sadly it doesn't resolve the issues I have (with the step count). I have also experienced problems unlocking my macbook with my apple watch, as someone mentioned earlier.

No map data on workouts in Fitness app after erasing all content and settings and re-pairing, though that did bring back the workout info to the phone. But without it no workout info showed up at all on the phone after the update 14/7.

It's a pity that Apple didn't sort this out with all the IOS 14 betas they put out

Lately Apple seem to be following Windows of old e.g. release buggy software and let the poor unfortunate customers do the testing for them. Saves them lots of money which is the name of the game. Infuriating indeed, I've always updated when software updates come out but I think from now on I'll wait until at least 5 or 6 updates are released, by that time hopefully they'll have ironed out all the bugs.

It's no what I expect from Apple, we pay a big premium when purchasing the hardware and deserve better

I have now unpaired my watch and re-paired it as a new watch (not restored from backup), running the public beta of watchos 7.1.

No improvements at all as far as I can see.

I have also noticed that if I go check all data for heartrates in the Health app on my phone, for a fraction of a second it shows me values from the most recent days. However, after a very short moment this changes so that it shows values from 2017 (and older if I scroll down).

It’s beyond me how Apple could make this version pass through all beta phases into a final release.

Yea, looks like Apple is using it's customers to find the bugs for them. Thought it would have been fixed in 7.0.1 but no dice. They said that there were some bug fixes but obviously they hadn't found this one. Maybe their beta testers are couch potatoes ...... otherwise surely someone who uses it for workouts would have picked it up.

Hopefully they'll have it sorted in the next update ..... fingers crossed

I got map data on workouts working again on new runs! On my iPhone 8 I erased All content and Settings and setup the phone again from an iCloud backup (I also enabled High Heart Rate Notifications and Irregular Rhythm Notifications for the **** of it). I also un-paired and re-paired my watch a few times before, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

But still no map data on any old runs, only the start point as before reset.

Same here. I did a dance workout yesterday for an hour and a half. My watch detected 7 minutes of exercise. Ummm so wrong! And not syncing the way it used to. Really irritating. Also for monthly challenges, it used to tell me how many minutes/calories/whatever I needed to complete the challenge. Now it doesn’t. Fix this!

I concur with the user above I have upgraded my phone iPhone to iOS 14.01and my I watch 5 to the very latest iOS and I have the same issues. It also seems to have broken a third party nutrition app I use in terms of reporting workouts and active energy.

The watch and iPhone on the previous iOS were working very well. We have gone backwards Apple please can you fix.
