Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Casey12x,


We see you linked here from Share your Activity and compete with friends with your Apple Watch.


If you haven't tried them yet, the steps found at the bottom of that page may be helpful:


Get help with Activity Sharing
If you paired more than one Apple Watch to your iPhone, the Sharing tab won't appear in Activity until you update all your watches to the latest version of watchOS
If you see an error when you try to add a friend or send an invitation
Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, then sign back in: 
1. Tap Settings > [your name]. 
2. Scroll down and tap Sign Out. 
3. Go back to Settings > Sign in to your [device], then enter your Apple ID and password.
4. Tap Sign In.
5. Try to add your friend or look for the invitation.
If you still can’t add a friend, make sure that they have an Apple Watch and that you haven’t added the maximum number of friends. You can add up to 40 friends.

If you don't get updates about your friend's activity
As long as your iPhone can connect to the Internet and you're signed in to iCloud, you can get updates about your friend's activity each day. If your iPhone can't connect for multiple days or you sign out of iCloud, you might see missing days.


Should you need further assistance, we recommend that you contact Apple Support.


Cheers!
