Health App Stopped Tracking Sleep Data

My understanding is that the iPhone used to track your sleep if you didn’t have an Apple Watch, but that feature was removed in iOS 18. So the only way to do any sort of sleep tracking is to get an Apple Watch.

Remember when Apple did things to please customers instead of pleasing stockholders (which I am one)?

I don’t want anything on my wrist so no sale here.

Mine too. I updated IOS to 18 and it stopped

Has a fix been determined on what needs to be done to have your hours of sleep tracked using your Health app on your phone? Since I upgraded to IOS 18, no sleep data has been captured. I updated on 10/10.

The same happened to me. I updated to iOS 18 and it stopped tracking my sleep. I’ve looked through all the settings and everything should be working normally, but it isn’t.

SOLVED

Same issue with new iPhone 16 with iOS 18. I noticed my iPad has all my health data on it, so After trying everything I found on line to no avail I finally decided to go for it, and IT worked.

On your iPhone:

Go to settings.

Click on your account name at the top.

Click on iCloud.

Click on “see all” under the Saved To Cloud section.

Click on Health.

Turn off the “ Sync this iPhone “ toggle

EXIT out and shut down your iPhone and your Apple Watch.

wait 10 seconds then turn iPhone back on.

go to the same section and toggle the “Sync this iPhone” to On.

it takes about 15 minutes to download your health data from the cloud.

turn on your Apple watch now if you have.

after it’s done downloading, check your data. It should all be there. At least it worked for moi. Aloha🤙🏼

Me too.

Why in the world doesn’t Apple provide any kind of support on this forum? Do they even know this exists? So many times I’ve come here to research a problem and found no answers. Mostly it’s “reinstall the os”. The next reply is it didn’t help. That’s the end of the discussion.

I’m having the exact same problem. It stopped tracking as soon as I changed phones, though. I recently got a new iPhone 16.

I’ve had a look through all the Sleep and Health setting sections and can’t figure out why it has stopped tracking. I’m still using the sleep schedule functions as normal, and still not sleeping with Apple Watch on. So odd.

Me too! Mine stopped tracking on Sept 30th. I don’t remember when I upgraded to iOS 18 but it sounds like that may be the problem, based on the other comments… I hope they fix it soon. All my Sleep settings look correct.

I’ve tried everything under the sun to make it work! I used to be able to not even make a schedule for it and it would track my sleeping. Come on now APPLE.

mine stopped after I got the iPhone 16 Pro, which was when iOS 18 rolled out… I’m not sure where the problem is located.

Spoke to Apple Customer Service. Did a number of things - including signing out and in to iCloud on the new phone, shutting down phone, shutting down watch, and then -- setting an alarm on the phone (not the watch) for the next morning. She said that it 'triggers' something. Well it did, and it worked. I am told I no longer need the alarm and it will keep working. I will know tomorrow if that is true, but glad to have my sleep data back since 10/17 (by the way, it did not have or return the days in between, but did start tracking last night).

I have not heard anything about a fix yet. I now keep track of my sleep and manually enter it into the health app.

Same issue , since the update it has stopped. The whole month of October has had no data. Any fix yet?

@SONAR3

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but it didn't work. A call to Apple Support finally solved it. It involved unpairing the watch and re-pairing it.

I have tried the above oh so many times, to no avail…then I saw that this fellow has an iPhone 16. That’s most likely why. Sigh…
