Fitness+ Metrics not showing from iPad HDMI to TV

Hey thegraviator,

Please check one more thing just to verify this is not unintentionally happening, because onscreen metrics aren’t available when using AirPlay.

It is possible that your device might automatically try to connect to an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV that you frequently use.

Do you see this symbol in the upper-left corner of the iPad?

Devices you can use with Apple Fitness+

Have a good one.

Greetings thegraviator,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like you do not see the metrics on the tv connected via HDMI cable from the iPad. Check the settings to make sure they are enabled.

"You can change the onscreen metrics from Apple Watch that you see on the screen during a workout. Metrics settings sync across the Fitness app on all your devices signed in with your Apple ID.

1. During a workout, tap .
2. Do one of the following:

• Turn off all metrics: Turn off Show Metrics.
  • Your metrics are still collected, but they aren’t displayed on the screen.
• Change how time is displayed: Select Off, Show Time Elapsed, or Show Time Remaining.
  • Turning off Time still shows the timer for intervals in your workout.
• Turn off the Burn Bar: Turn off Burn Bar.
  • If you turn off the Burn Bar, your workouts don’t contribute to the community burn bar and you won’t see your position at the end of your workout."

Change what’s on the screen during an Apple Fitness+ workout

Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need additional assistance.

Take care.

I have the same issue. I have no prior experience with Fitness+ before today (just got my first Apple Watch). I connected my iPad Pro (11”, 2018 version) to my TV with an HDMI cable (via my USB-C dock). The metrics would not appear for me in the same way the metrics would not appear for thegraviator. The video of the workout would appear okay, but no metrics (and the option for metrics was enabled). Also, the moment I would disconnected my iPad from the TV, the metrics would immediately appear on my iPad screen. But the moment I plugged my iPad back in to the TV, the metrics would disappear again.

If I could just mirror my iPad to the TV while playing the fitness videos, that would be good enough. But that doesn’t seem to be an option. I can mirror outside of the fitness videos. But the moment I hit play on a fitness video, the mirroring is disabled.

Were you able to find a solution, thegravitor?

(And like thegravitor, I’m not connected to AirPlay.)

Exactly. They removed a feature that should be there. It should NOT have been removed. I got the same answer from Apple support.

I sent in feedback and emailed Tim Cook.

I have experienced the same thing. Metrics used to work until the update. Please bring back what you used to offer in being able to view the metrics.

never should have been able to? Hilarious! It never should’ve been removed.

I have the same issue!!
