Workout app for iPad cannot be used to review the same data as on the iPhone? I use my Apple Watch to track my workouts. Using my iPhone to review the data for workouts in the Workouts app is fine, but I’m surprised that the same app on the iPad is basically useless for that — it only provides a portal into for-pay premium workout/coaching sessions. This really surprises me — does anyone have any knowledge about why Apple would field identical-looking apps for iPhone and iPad and yet make them essentially incompatible? I can see the value of the paid services, but I’d think Apple would extend the app for that, not lobotomize the app.

How to sync phone to Fitness app after unpairing Apple Watch? I used to have an Apple Watch that would populate data into my Health app and Fitness app. I've since unpaired the watch and only use my phone for step tracking, etc. However, my phone steps are not syncing to the Fitness app even though they show up in Health. I've followed previous instructions to ensure that my phone is the first option in Data Sources on the Health app as well as restarting the apps/phone. I've seen past advice to delete all unused devices from the Data Access and Devices section in Health settings. However, I am concerned that if I delete my Apple Watch, then I will lose all my old Fitness data. Does anyone know how to make your phone start syncing to the Fitness app after unpairing an Apple Watch? (IPhone 16 Pro Max)

The 3rd party workout app has to be listed and enabled in the Health App on your iPhone ->Browse -> Activity -> Data Sources & Access -> Apps Allowed To Read Data.

All other Activity sections should have the same allowances set up as Data Sources.

Usually the 3rd party will ask for data access and the permissions to read/write data to the Health App during installing the app.
