One of the new updates for ios16 and watchOS9 is the ability to AirPlay your Apple Fitness + workouts to an airplay compatible smart TV. I am able to airplay my fitness + workouts (like always), but I still don’t have my metrics (time, HR, etc) on the TV screen. Had anyone been able to get this to work after doing both the iPhone and watchOS updates?
Apple Watch Series 5
My TV comes with latest Airplay (Airplay 2), Apple watch iOS 9 and iPhone iOS 16, so I don't think the answer given by Apple support is the reason. My guess is that they simply haven't developed the on screen metrics via airplay (unless you have an Apple TV, which is really not cool, considering the number of Apple products I own.
I too have the same frustration. I was expecting iOS16 to finally integrate the metrics on screen when airplaying fitness+ to a third party screen (in my case a Samsung 75' 2022 airplay 2 compatible. I mean come on, I have an apple watch, iPhone 12pro, 2 MB's , and a full Apple One subscription. Is Apple that dollar hungry that they punish me for not having an Apple TV...? so no on screen metrics for me! 😔
Me too! And there doesn't seem to be a list of metric compatible AirPlay 2 TVs and devices anywhere on Apple's site.
All I find is this: to see onscreen metrics like timers, trainer callouts, heart rate, Activity ring celebrations, and Burn Bar positions on AirPlay 2–enabled TVs and devices, you’ll need to update to watchOS 9 or later and iOS 16 or later. And confirm your device is compatible with onscreen metrics.
Okay, but how do we confirm???
I have the same problem.
I contacted the support, but they couldn’t help me. The guy told me that it is possible that my tv doesn’t support the feature and needs an update for AirPlay.
Not sure if this is the answer. So I hope we will get an official answer in this thread and maybe a list of requirements and supported devices for this feature to work.
Best regards
No on screen metrics when Airplaying Fitness +
