My fitness app on my iPhone isn’t tracking my steps, my move goal ring gets completed everyday but it just shows 0 steps. Anyone know how to fix it as it’s only been happening the past two days since I’ve updated my iPhone to the newest version.

I have managed to fix it, for those who have had a similar issue, after the update you have to click onto the health app and agree to let it share data. Then that will link up with the fitness app.

I figured it out on my phone (iPhone 15 ProMax iOS 17.6.1) just now.
Go to Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Devices
Make sure under “Devices” you only have the current device(s) listed. Several of my previous iPhones appeared on the list. If that’s the case for you, select the devices on the list that are no longer in use. Then click “Delete All Data from [Device Name].” Once you do that, refresh the app. Mine immediately showed me all the steps that hadn’t been showing up before.
Hope this helps!
I discovered in the main phone settings that I had turned off the health app from tracking me. So you have to allow access to both the fitness app and the health app.
however I still get various distances while walking the exact same route daily. So something still isn’t quite right.
Restart your iPhone and reopen the fitness app.
Just Shutdown & power on again.
I figured it out. I wasn’t allowing the health app to track me. That’s gotta be active to cross over and populate the information to the fitness app.
I fixed it
go to your fitness app in your apple watch
in top left is an icon like this 📊
simply click on it and it will fix
Do you have an Apple Watch? If yes then unpair the watch and the fitness app will work just fine.
Turn ur phone off and wait for like a minute. Turn it back on and it should work. Worked for me😅😂
I didnt have multiple devices listed, just one, but once i got into that path & closed & opened fitness app again. it started working for me.
Thank
This immediately fixed my issue. No idea why data from an old phone will prevent logging steps on a new phone, but deleting the old phone certainly fix the issue
The Fitness App (activities) collects data from the worn Apple Watch.
if the Watch is not worn the step data on your Watch will be low. Example todays walk. The iPhone shows 3700 steps v Watch 41.
The Health App collects & aggregates data from both Watch (worn) & Health App.
You might be able to fix this my removing your watch as a shared device in the Health app. Someone gave instructions above in this thread.
I have a 12 Pro. I have upgraded to the latest OS 17.4.1. Powered off the phone. Have accepted the Health terms and Health is tracking steps. Fitness app is not synching or tracking.
Anything else that can be done to sync the app?
This just happened to me on July the 7th 2024. Its not tracking steps, distance or flights climbed. Everything seemed to work until July 4. My phone is updated and I've accepted all terms and still won't track these anymore.
