Fitness on iPad Pro

Hello, martine-goldenbeld.

We understand that you're trying to download the Fitness app on your iPad Pro, but you're getting an error about a missing component. Your iPad should be able to download the Fitness app from the App Store with iPadOS 14.3 or later and an Apple Watch Series 3 or later using the same Apple ID as your iPad.

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities, and let us know if you need help updating or checking your Apple Watch.

Warmest Regards.

martine-goldenbeld,

Thank you for clarifying for us! Let’s dig a little deeper:

• Is your Apple Watch updated?? You should be able to update to watchOS 7.3.1 today.

• Is your signed into the same Apple ID as your iPad? You can check on the Watch app on your iPhone under General > Apple ID or in the Settings app on your Apple Watch.

• If you’re paired with an iPhone, do you have the Fitness app on your iPhone?

If you can answer yes to all of those questions, try restarting all three devices. If you’re still not able to download it on your iPad, it may be time to reach out to Apple Support for more advanced troubleshooting.

martine-goldenbeld,

Our apologies! The watchOS 7.3.1 update was for the Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch SE only. It looks like you are fully updated! We appreciate the clarity.

Regarding the Fitness+ promotion, if you purchased your Apple Watch Series directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller within the last 90 days, you should be eligible. What happens when you open the Fitness app on your watch? Per their promotional terms, you'll need to sign in on the new device and open the Fitness app there for the promotion to appear.
