iOS 14 / Watch OS 7 Fitness and Health Apps issues

I too have this issue. I have a iPhone 11 that is on iOS 14.0.1 and a Gen 2 Apple Watch on Watch OS 6.2.8. I've noticed that the Activity App on the iPhone does not track my routes when taking a walk, nor does it show the heart rate chart. Looking in the Health App it does not show all my Heart Rate data. Trying to look at a Year's worth of data, nothing shows up. Going down and looking at all data, it shows all the data points briefly, then disappears and only shows me some data points way back in 2017 and 2015.

I tried the backup your phone, then erase both the phone and the Apple Watch, then restore. That did not work.

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.

Back up your phone to the cloud, unpair your watch, then reset your phone to factory settings. Then you’ll set up your phone with the backup, pair your watch, and hopefully everything will work properly again.

Reset to Factory settings is the catch all, Hail Mary suggestion for just about any situation. It’s the thing Support suggests when they run out of ideas. “Start from scratch and maybe it’ll work.”

People are concerned about further unintended consequences, such as losing all or part of their data. It shouldn’t be on the user to have to undo what Apple suggested we do to our phones. It’s on Apple to fix it.

I have same issues after the repairing of devices with backup and restore.

Yesterday, I found the activities ( walking outdoor) on the apple watch, but on the fitness app this workout wasn't .

Today, the same issue.

It is on Apple to fix this bug. I'm going to wait until they release a fix.

Many report losing all their routes under 13, some don't and get past maps under 13 so seems it's a bit of a lottery. For that reason I'm not for the wiping phone and watch.

From now on I'll never trust an Apple update, I will wait for 15 until at least 15.5 when it should be stable.

Of late Apple seems to be using their customers as the beta testers.

In the past companies like Microsoft used to sub contract testing to companies before launching to see if they could find any bugs which they frequently did. Of course that costs money and Apple don't seem to want to spend money.

To get 13 bug free it took best part of a year and 10+ 'updates'.

Wouldn't have happened in Steve Jobs days, if it did those responsible would be fired

I have been having the same issues and only since upgrading this week. Exercise workouts randomly not recorded in the workout app, although oddly do appear in the exercise rings. It worked great before. Apple why are you stuffing up something that was working!!!

Yup, did the complete iPhone/Watch erase and reinstall. Everything appeared well, maps now showing up, but over two subsequent days it has dropped 2 workouts from the red ring. The exercise minutes are correct and if you look at calorie totals in Health they appear correct. I hope this gets fixed fast. The main reason I have the Apple Watch is for fitness

Over the last three days I‘ve not lost calories from workouts on my red ring. I’ve a number of workout apps. I’m currently using Strava and Whoop as part of a study. My thought is integration with Strava is a little “loopy”. I have not repeated another cycle of reinstalls. We will see?

I personally haven't had any luck after multiple tries at backing up and restoring.

My workouts still only show up on my phone sporadically, and none of the steps, resting energy or sleep seems to work as it once did.

Even stand hours are all messed up, on my watch I've logged stand hours for 9-10 consecutive hours, but looking at it on my phone it doesn't reflect the same as the watch.

This is the same thing that happened for me. Things appear to be back to normal and are tracking correctly now, but all my previous runs no longer have their GPS maps. This is the downside of having one company manage a lot of your data. I'm annoyed to have lost my running routes, but it's not critical data to me. It might be to other people, though, and it makes you worry about iCloud in general. Whereas if I was just storing everything in Runkeeper, and Runkeeper started having issues, I could just easily switch to another app and not worry about the rest of my data.

I have tried the restore (as I stated earlier). I know a lot of people are worried that their data has been lost, I don't think this is the case. I think all the data is still there, Apple just has a bug in how it processes that data and displays it to the user. My iPhone does not display all the Heart Rate data on the phone in the graph, but when I look at the physical data it does briefly display it, which tells me the data is there, just not in a format iOS 14 can process.

I have a old Gen 2 Apple Watch and what my iPhone Activity app says I have, is what the watch says. I have noticed it takes it a bit to update on the iPhone (sometimes up to a minute before it shows the same on the phone as it does the watch). I have the activity widget set up on my home screen, if I want to see the most accurate and up to date info on that widget I have to click it and make it go to the app to refresh. I know it's a little bit of a pain, but the more the phone has to do in the background the more power it takes. I'm fine with the sync time between the watch and the app, and if I want to see "accurate" or "real time" measurements I would end up going to the Activity App anyway.

Just my 2 cents ....
