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?


Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 26
