Blocks of heart rate data missing on the iPhone X

I have an iPhone X and Apple Watch 5, both updated with the latest iOS 14.0.1 and Watch OS 7.0.


In the last week, and just before the latest OS upgrades, I noticed that blocks of heart data were missing and my walking map is not shown in the Apple Fitness app on the iPhone. My iPhone AutoSleep is affected by the lack of data.


But the heart rate data is all visible on the screen of my Apple Watch, even the data that is missing on my iPhone X. Never before did I have a problem with missing heart rate data. What's up?

This is a terrible solution offered by Apple. I track my heart rate because of heart issues, and the fact that 3 years of monthly data it is now missing from my watch is flat out unacceptable. Apple should correct this with a software update, not ask me to wipe my phone. I believe the data is still on the phone; I can see it - it's just now showing. Also, I cannot wipe my phone - Apple maybe doesn't know this, but there's this thing called COVID-19, and my phone has a soft RSA token app so I can log on and work each day. The only way to reactive it after a wipe is to go into one of our corporate offices, which is not allowed accept for an emergency, and Apple screwing up my phone's data is not an emergency. Other issues, volume decibel data is gone, GPS is not tracking when I run or walk outdoors. Unacceptable, Apple!
