iPad and Apple fitness metrics display

I have been using my iPad connected via HDMI cable to me smart TV to do my Apple Fitness workouts.

I updated my iPad to iOS 14.5. and now when I plug my iPad into my TV the workouts show, but the metrics have disappeared. I also noticed that the iPad screen goes to a black screen and says that the iPad is connected to the TV, where previously the workout would show on the iPad screen and the TV. No metrics are showing on the TV since the iOS 14.5 update. I don't want to have to buy Apple TV when I already have a an iPad. Not sure if the software was changed with the new update. Anyone notice this or know how to fix it?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hi NicSurrey,

From our understanding, workout metrics are no longer showing on your Smart TV via your iPad, since updating to iPadOS 14.5. To see a list of devices you can use with Apple Fitness+, click here: Devices you can use with Apple Fitness+. iOS/iPadOS 14.5 gave the ability to stream audio and video content from Apple Fitness+ workouts to AirPlay 2-enabled TVs and devices, however onscreen metrics aren't available when using AirPlay.

Take care.

Yes this is all true. But with the recent iOS update (to accommodate AirPlay on more devices) Apple has removed the option to see metrics via the iPad to smart TV. There is no fix unless future updates provide this.
