17.2 Update Bugs

Just wait 10-15 minutes after you change your settings to set this up - I think it needs a bit of time to populate. Initially I had the same problem - didn't work, but after checking my settings and waiting a while it did. You probably have already made the correct changes to your settings, but just on the off chance that you haven't, one needs to allow Siri to access health data before using the feature. On iPhone, go to Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Siri, and toggle on “Access Health Data.” On Apple Watch, open Settings > Health > Apps and Services > Siri, and toggle on “Allow Siri Access to Health Data.”

This feature is also limited by language at the present time - go to Siri settings and change the language to English (US), English (Canada) didn't work for me for instance. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I didn't find there was a delay after changing the settings, but can confirm that Siri only works with the Health app when English (US) is selected as the Siri language. Once working, if I change the Siri language back to English (UK), it stops working again.

No offence to the American accent, but I'd prefer to keep my British one, but it seems I'm left to choose between a working Siri / Health combo with an American accent, or keeping my Siri British accent and missing out on this new feature.

This is a pretty big miss for Apple's QA and hopefully it gets fixed quickly... 🙄

I had to do all the permissions in this post:

On iPhone, go to Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Siri, and toggle on “Access Health Data.” On Apple Watch, open Settings > Health > Apps and Services > Siri, and toggle on “Allow Siri Access to Health Data.”

Also made sure Siri is in US English

Still didn't work until I did this:

Have my region set as United States in General / Language and Region on my iphone

Same issue here and still amazed of the limited functionality with Siri. Apple is massively falling behind with this.

Same issue with my iPhone 14 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Permissions on both set correctly and both devices restarted several times 🤷‍♂️

same here with iphone 15 on ios 17.2, I can get it to log my meds. same response.

If you want to share direct photos or anything else from the gallery, you have to go to the application and do it..

Same problem, but apple Watch 7 I’ll checked on IPhone 12 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max rebooting every 5-7 min before on update 17.1 was everything perfect but with new updates 17.2.1 not working…
