iOS 14 / Watch OS 7 Fitness and Health Apps issues

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.

Yes all of these issues are happening to me too. I was very hopeful that iOS 14.01 and Watch OS 7.01 would fix this- but nope. Still not yet. Ugh, I hope there’s a fix coming soon because this is major, especially since iPhone isn’t recording the workouts.

Mine is useless, too. And when I turn my wrist to look at my watch, I have to tap it for it to respond. It’s a series 5. This latest update is completely useless. The fitness tracker is awful. It doesn’t tell me what I need to complete a challenge, it isn’t syncing accurately with my phone.

Same issues, it's a total mess. Why oh why did Apple have to mess about with a perfectly good app Activity and ruin it and call it Fitness.

The old saying 'if it's not broken, don't try fixing it'.

I get different steps on Watch, Health and Fitness for the same walk, run or cycle and no workout maps.

All my previously save route maps are now gone

Map part of Fitness not working, only shows a flag at the start of the walk and nothing else.

I see that iPhone owners from 6S to the latest are having problems so we are not alone

Updated to the 14.0.1 and WatchOS 7.0.1 hoping that it would have been sorted out but no dice.

Most reviewers praising emoji's just about sums up Apple of late

Now they are copying Samsung and other Android makers, if it was the other way around Apple would be suing Samsung.

Emoji's and Widgets that have been on Android phones for the past 10 years and Apple crow about them being 'best ever' bs as usual. Sad that the only feature that reviewers can rave on about, if Steve Jobs was still there he'd fire the lot of them

Apple Watch the same, no change in appearance since first one. Finally with 5 they caught up with competition by have finally got an always on mode. Sleep the only addition in Watch 6, give me a break!!

All the reviewers must be couch potatoes because if they used IOS 14 for even one workout they'd have seen how crappy the 'improvements' were

Not a happy camper ...... hopefully they'll sort it out in the next update but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe by 14.14.16

Why is there such a huge difference between calories burned pre-IOS 14 and IOS 14? Same workout duration, distance, and average heart rates but IOS14 shows over 100 more active calories burned. Doesn’t make sense that there would be that much of a difference.

Workout ring is showing 0 after a 30 minute indoor walk using the Indoor Walk icon. This has been happening since the upgrade. I was able to import data one time, but today after my walk there was nothing registered under Workout. According to the listings in this section, this is a problem since the update. Stand and Move appear to be ok, but not Exercise; Apple...please fix this.

Hey, thanks for sharing this! Super helpful to at least know that developers are aware of it and to get some idea of how widespread it might be. Here's hoping 14.1 / 7.1 come out soon and put this one to rest.

i just switched to the series 6 watch , using the workout app during a workout the app alerted me 2 times asking if I was done with the workout. The first time My heart rate was 122. The second time my heart rate was 104 , Clearly showing I was working out

also I did a 40 minute workout that I always do and the watch said I did 22 minutes of activity only

I updated both IOS14 (14.0.1) and WatchOS 7.0.1 but the issues remains. My Fitness app doesn't show my activities , while my workouts are present on my Apple watch.

I have similar problems than the ERHAU175 User

News about the resolution?

Apple should get their finger out and release an update to fix it.

Having their customers go through this rigmarole not knowing if in the end it will work, there's no guarantee that it will or that we will lose some of our data.

It reminds me of how Microsoft used to treat it's customers back in the day.

So come on Apple and release a patch for your crappy programming, it's on them to sort it out and not it's customers.

Says how low Apple hold their customers

I'm going to wait until Apple sort it out

Still no 'reviewers' have mentioned this very important glitch for anyone that uses Health app for medical reasons of whom there are many.

I certainly will have to consider Apple's treatment of us when it comes to updating gear in the future.

Activated my Series 6 yesterday and only 1 of my 2 workouts have synced to the Health app. This could create an issue (if it’s an ongoing problem) as several other apps pull in that data to help me manage my nutrition and fitness.

Clearly the source of the MacRumors article posted above. Glad it worked for you. I’ll already spent hours on this and taking Support’s Official advice, only made it incrementally worse. Hopefully the next significant update sorts it.

If not, maybe by then I’ll be in the mood to spend two or three straight hours effing around with my phone again.

I'm very surprised that none of the reviewers that are plugging the new IOS 14 Watch 6 are mentioning this bug. They are gushing about the new emoji's and widgets which have been on Android phones for donkeys years FFS is that all Apple have to offer ?

Activity app was working great before the 14 and 7 updates, why did they change the name and totally messed it up.

Now they want us all at the risk of losing our data if we don't do everything correctly.

Many owners aren't tech savvy enough to go through the procedure they recommend.

When are Apple going to step up to the plate and release an update that corrects all our issues.

On my workouts I have 3 different numbers in Watch, Health and Fitness FOR THE SAME WORKOUT.

Lots of issues with this very buggy IOS 14, i thought that from 12 onwards IOS versions were going to more stable and reliable.

If you give people the option to wait for a stable bug free update or a buggy update in a shorter time I'd venture that they would go for the first option.

One lesson to take for this is to wait to at least version ?.5.0 before updating because on past history it takes at least 9 months to sort out all the bugs

Last time I'll ever update a new release from bug ridden Apple

Roll back to 13? I didn't even think that was possible.

So far their best, laziest suggestions are completely deleting everything and starting over or just rolling it all back. In other words, just pretend 14 hasn't even happened. I wish.

I am having the same issues and it is infuriating!! I am in some steps contests at work and the health app only reports about 50% of my steps -ugh!! Sometimes my fitness workouts show up on my phone sometimes they do not - seems to be random.
