iPhone Health App Activity refresh is delayed

Hi,

I recently updated my iphone 12 to ios15. Since then, I have noticed that the Walking + Running Distance under Activity in the Health app is not refreshed instantly. It takes 5-10 minutes to refresh. If I am out walking, I dont get the current distance I have covered. Its always delayed by some minutes. Previously, it used to get updated instantly. If I had the app open while walking, it would keep updating the distance every few seconds. Now, I have to wait 5-10 minutes after I am done to know how much distance I walked.

Anybody else noticed this issue or any solutions out there?

Thanks for your help.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

In the Apple Heath steps details view it also now says “Trend Unavailable”. What’s that about?

I also see the trend unavailable. Not sure why that is so.

How can I get my iPhone to update 'steps taken in real time' instead of it being on a delay?

For example, it is now 12:20PM, but my iPhone indicates 'steps taken up t0 11:36AM????

If we cancel the app will we lose all the history ? Restarting the phone did nothing to the app refresh time

Can we delete the update 15? Then it would go back to real time? Does anyone know how to reverse the upgrade?

Have submitted a feature request/performance issue.

The multi minute lag in step count amounts to a horrible user experience.

iPhone health design/product/software team, hope you take notice.

I am having the same problem, it is sooo frustrating! I agree that it's a marketing ploy to increase their watch sales. If anyone finds a solution let me know :) thanks
