Apple watch and iPhone not syncing Workout infor
The workouts appear under my Apple Watch when I look in the “Devices” section of the Fitness or Watch settings.
However, none of these historic workouts are showing up in the Health app or Fitness app on my iPhone.
I have tried restoring from iCloud and re-pairing the watch, but the data still isn’t syncing properly.
I would really appreciate guidance on how to get my historic workout and health data back into the Health app.
Things I’ve already tried:
Checked that Health is turned on under iCloud sync.
Confirmed both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID.
Ensured Fitness Tracking and Health permissions are enabled under Privacy & Security → Motion & Fitness.
Tried restoring from an older iCloud backup (but it didn’t bring back the workout history).
Apple support tells me this is normal, if so why bother archiving work-outs as they are totally useless if you cannot use them
Question:
How can I import or sync the older workout data stored under my devices on my phone all from Apple Watchs back into the Health app, especially if it goes back several years?
