When sharing my fitness, my friends see my Apple ID email address instead of my name. How can I correct that? Before someone says they need to add me as a contact with that email address, I don’t have my friends Apple ID email saved in my contacts for them and they still show up with their name only on my activity app. Thank you
Apple Watch Series 6
Hello Pnkbling38_,
Let's use the steps below to make sure both your iPhone and Apple Watch all are up to date:
Get ready to update
Next, check these things:
1. Make sure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
2. Make sure that your Apple Watch is at least 50 percent charged.
3. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.
Keep your iPhone near your Apple Watch throughout the update. It could take from several minutes to an hour for the update to complete, so you might want to update overnight or wait until you have time.
Update your Apple Watch using your iPhone
You can wait until Apple Watch notifies you when a new update is available. Tap Update Tonight in the notification, then go to your iPhone to confirm that you want to update overnight. At the end of the day, leave your Apple Watch and iPhone charging overnight so the update can complete.
Or you can update your Apple Watch with your iPhone manually:
1. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then tap the My Watch tab.
2. Tap General > Software Update.
3. Download the update. If asked for your iPhone passcode or Apple Watch passcode, enter it.
4. Wait for the progress wheel to appear on your Apple Watch. It could take from several minutes to an hour for the update to complete.
You can also find those steps in this resource: Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If your devices are up to date, let's restart:
Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Updating and restarting can sometimes help address odd behaviors.
Should that still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Contact - Official Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this further.
Take care.
