Activity sharing not working at all

Yes, and it was the old Apple ID address. Just sent another invitation, waiting to see if it'll work this time...

Nope, it just doesn't work at all.

I give up.

I Have this same issue. I have rebooted my phone, unlinked my watch, killed the app resent invite but nothing has worked. The person I'm trying to share with has also rebooted his phone, unlinked his watch and killed the app But no luck. I can successfully share with my daughter but no one else. Pleae help with a solution.

Try my solution above it seems to have worked for a few people.

Change the email address that is your Apple ID log back into iCloud on your phone and resend the invite.

Just fixed this on mine and a friends. Unpair the Apple Watch, then re-pair it. Give it a minute or two to reload everything. Has worked for both of us.

Ok, but this is a workaround to the problem, not a fix. I did the above, and Activity sharing started working. However, several days later, the problem has resurfaced. I see Apple have approved your solution, but I really hope they don't think this is an end to it. There's a bug in there that needs fixing.

As I already mentioned this problem was fixed by apple support after several days of trying different things. What worked was simply not using "me.com" for my apple ID. I changed to "icloud.com" and all my sharing worked

I Had this problem , I logged into my Apple ID and found I still had my old Apple Watch still associated , so I removed it and re invited my friends and everything works perfectly Now , hope this helps

I have tried everything in this thread except changing my Apple ID (which I am not doing). Original watch is running 3.1 and iPhone 7 running 10.1... I just get a spinning wheel. Any other suggestions?

Reading all your posts I supposde that I have the activity sharing problem because I am logged in iCloud with the older Apple ID @mac.com. I solved the problem performing a logout from iCloud (Settings->iCloud on the iPhone) and login using my "alias" account @icloud.com.

So you haven't tried the one thing that might work ?

Why won't you change your Apple ID email address ? It takes less than 5 minutes, it's probably easier and quicker than all the other things you have tried so far.

What are you worried about ?

Anyone figure this out? After I receive a invite from my bro it just spins.. I send it to him. His spins..

We have latest OS 10.1.1 and latest Watch OS 3.1. I have series 2 he has 1st Gen watch. We both have Iphone 6

We both have:

1. Unpaired and repaired - Didnt work

2. Then upgraded to latest software that came out 2 weeks ago. Said it fixed this issue

3. Restarted devices

4. Both have @icloud accounts

5. logged out of icloud and back into on iphones..

Still spins!!! Help please. I dont know anyone else with Apple watch so i cant really test on anyone else.

Thanks

Change the Apple ID email address. Worked for me and a few others.

This also worked for me. Unpairing and re-pairing the watches did not work. Also, I suspect the method of changing the Apple ID to something else (like a gmail address)may be working for those of us who had the "me.com" email login. Didn't want to do that, so suggest trying the me to iCloud method.

So same issue - I have done everything! Both me and my pal have icloud accounts...

1. Unpaired and repaired - Didnt work

2. Then upgraded to latest software that came out 2 weeks ago. Said it fixed this issue

3. Restarted devices

4. Both have @icloud accounts

5. logged out of icloud and back into on iphones..

6. Both on @icloud.com accounts.

Really annoying as it just spins...

In my earlier post, I forgot to mention I also removed old Apple Watch entries in my iCloud device list as mentioned in this discussion. You can do this on your iPhone by selecting Settings, iCloud, then click on your name at the top (which should have your "@icloud.com" address), then Devices, and remove any erroneous Apple Watch entries. I had my old Series 0 and a Series 1 that I had unpaired, but were still listed in my devices. Not sure if that helped in addition to logging out as "@me.com" and re logging in as "@icloud.com" but may be worth checking out.
