No notifications from Activity app after update to Watch OS 4

1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the My Watch tab, then tap Health.
3. Tap Edit, then tap Wheelchair and choose Yes.
4. Tap Done.

I had the same issues after updating to watchOS 4. I came across this suggestion to edit the wheelchair settings and that seems to have solved it!

edit: Whoops for some reason I didn't see the other responses which mention the same thing. After days of not getting stand notifications, I'm finally getting them. whew.

Yesterday, I received only two notifications with one telling me to close all rings as I’d done the day before and to stand during an hour I was inactive grading papers. No badges, for the past two days have been given but my friends have been receiving them because I get their Activity updates. Also, I’m upset that I completed a PERFECT month but wasn’t given a badge for September due to this glitch. I hope Apple can provide the missing badges to us after the fact, smh.

I tried some of the suggestions I read on here but to no avail and I’m kind of at my wits end as we shouldn’t be troubleshooting this much for an issue that should’ve been caught while being beta tested.

Same here. Perfect June, July, August, AND September but no badge for September. It says my longest streak is 121 but my current streak is 123 days. I am really not happy about it but it is good to know others are experiencing this.... the Chat support did not help but I have a call scheduled tomorrow with their Watch specialists. if I learn anything I will share it here.

funny part is I did the service chat with them...she transferred me to her "senior advisor big guns" and once that person got on and said lets get to the bottom of this...disconnected. Wonder if Apple is using chat bots like so many other companies now?

Agreed, seeing as health/activity is one of the main selling points of the watch you’d think they’d of paid attention. At the moment I just get a summary once all three targets have been met but nothing else, no stand notifications, no breathing etc. Everything is switched on and setup correctly. It just doesnt work as it did on os 3. Lousy bug to have, makes me wish I had never updated. To be honest mine is an initial release watch so maybe they should of restricted that as far as os 3 in first place. Would of saved me the hassle and frustration but I wasn’t expectimg to lose so much functionality from an ‘update’. My other favourite thing got canned too, the ability to browse music library with iPhone as the source. Grrrr!

Sorry, think you misunderstood. All the data is in the health app and is tracking fine. Just not getting the notifications from the built in activity app. No stand reminders no activity ring notifications etc. not talking about 3rd party apps that need permission to sync.

Me too!

I am getting warnings to tell me to stand if I haven't in the hour but not getting any badges for achieving goals.

My 242 day Longest Move Streak award is stuck but it seems to still be counting as it says underneath that I have a 244 day streak today, just no date change on the back of the badge.

I did though get a double move goal award this morning for yesterday???

Very irritating as I use my watch and the health app all the time!!

Appreciate it's not the end of the world but rather annoying. You would honestly expect better from Apple.

I do though like where it tells you how far off you are from reaching the 200, 300 and 400 Move goals.

Let's hope for an update and fix soonest.

I also before anyone says have everything set up, turned on etc as it should be.

I am receiving breathe notifications and the stand notifications.

It works fine apart from the lack of badges.

I have the original Apple Watch.

Could be pure luck but as others on different forums have stated if you go into your health app and open different areas it may help. Don’t even have to change anything. I now am getting ring notifications. We’ll see about the stand ones when I’m not active. I chatted for an hour or two with support last night and the engineers wanted full phone logs sent. Too time consuming/complicated for me, plus I didn’t like that they wanted all logs, not just ones regarding the watch. Oh well, hopefully it fixed itself.

We need to be patient as hard as it is at times, I reminded myself in times like this when I got a update on my Galaxy S3 and I found out that Android and Samsung did not have technical support for issues and I was on my on to fix it myself with the information I could find on the internet. Took me almost a week with a complete out of service phone. I’m always glad that when I need them Apples tech support is their to help.

Strangely enough......

I got the right hump about lack of 3D touch on my cell that I turned off and rebooted both my Apple Watch and iPhone and everything is now working as was and 'back to normal'?!?!

Not sure why but I'm not complaining!!

Wow that’s a result. So you are getting the breathe prompts/notifications too? I’ve tried toggling it on and off plus restarting both phone and watch but still can’t kick it into life. Not sure about the stand notifications as the demand of my kids and work hasn’t allowed the chance to test it out yet!

It seems we are all getting different problems. I get notifications on my series 1 watch for closing rings but breathe reminders won’t work. They did yesterday for a bit when I went into the watch app on the phone yesterday and muted the notifications and then toggled this off again. But today getting nothing, have changed the amount of times a day it notifies me but it makes no difference. Not sure if the stand reminder is working for me as my kids have not let me have a chance to test that one. I have made sure the wheelchair toggle is off in the phone health app so I’m hoping this will work come tomorow when I’m my work desk! Overall though I’m really frustrated with this ‘update’. Bugs aplenty and the loss of being able to browse ones music using phone as source. It’s the worst update I have experienced overtaking windows 10 in my list of dissapontments!

Maybe this will help some people.

I was having problems with the Breathe reminders and the stand reminders. I am still having issues with the breathe reminders, but the stand reminders are now working.

Here is what I did: https://www.imore.com/how-to-fix-broken-stand-reminders

Not sure why Apple does not have you chose a wheelchair option during setup????

Now just need to figure out how to fix the breathe notifications.

Not sure how/why this would have fixed my issue, but it did. I was receiving breath & stand notifications, but not goal completion notifications. Called support and they had me go into the Health App under 'My Watch'. They had me toggle the Wheelchair setting from 'No' to 'Yes', and then back to 'No'. The next day, I started receiving the new blazing ring notifications for goal completions. Not sure if that was just a coincidence or not, but I've been receiving the notifications for several days now.
