Activity Sharing does not work.

I am currently using iOS 16.5.1. I have a problem in the app Fitness. I want to share activities with my contacts/friends but cannot do so. Me and my friend have Apple iPhones updated to the newest version and Apple watch updated to the newest version. I have tried everything from signing out to shutting down my iphone and apple watch and i still get the pop up when i press send it says: Share Activity

Couldn't Send Invitation. This person doesn't have a device that supports

Activity Sharing. I don’t understand, why does this not work? What can be done to fix it?

iPhone 12

If you see an error when trying 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.


Get your friend to do the same.

Ensure you both turn Screen Time off.

Ensure neither of you have VPN or app store security apps installed,
