IOS 17 Friends Fitness activity

Hi HarleyBailey,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. If you haven't already, be sure to update your Apple Watch to the latest watchOS as well. As mentioned in Share your Activity with your iPhone and Apple Watch - Apple Support, the sharing tab may not appear until your Apple Watch is up-to-date. This is especially important if you use more than one Apple Watch. The following from that same article may help as well.

"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"

Take care.

i just reviewed a few third party suggestions....keep in mind my phone and watch systems are up to date and they are communicating with icloud.

I fixed it by doing a hard restart of my phone and my watch. now my friends fitness is showing on both!

Thanks for replying, HarleyBailey, and that additional info. Since you are still having an issue with this, please contact Apple directly for further investigation: Apple Support

Have a great day and thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I spent over an hour on the phone with Apple Support with no resolution. I'm hoping it will be fixed in the next update. In the meantime I just have to keep restarting my phone every time this happens and that works temporarily. Not a major problem but it is frustrating, especially if you're in a competition with a friend.

I've been having the same problem since the recent updates. I spent a lot of time on the phone with Apple support but here's no fix yet. Maybe with the next update. If I restart my phone it will work for a while but I'll get the blank screen again later in the day.

My phone stopped showing my fitness sharing with my friends on tuesday and across the board with with all my shared fitness friends. Oddly, it shows on my watch with no issues whatsoever. My watch system is up to date and so is my phone.

this is such a cool, team building feature. its a shame that Apple points at the user as the problem.

I am having the same problem! I see everyone on my watch, but all of my friends are sitting at 0 on my phone app. It just started happening a few days after my phone and watch were both updated.
