No notifications from Activity app after update to Watch OS 4

Since the update yesterday I’m not getting stand reminders or notifications when I close activity rings. And yes, all those options are turned on. Anyone else have this issue?

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 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.

I tried this...I rebooted my phone and watch afterwards. I got excited after my watch came back on because the current hour was blinking again under stand when I looked at the activity bars so I thought I would start getting stand notifications again. This wasn't the case though...stand notifications still aren't happening and now when I look at the stand bars in the activity app, the current hour is no longer blinking.


I do not have issues getting Breathe or other activity notifications...frustrating people are having all sorts of different issues after the update.

I had exactly the same situation. After reading this thread I toggled the wheelchair setting and restarted one device after another. The ”current” unachieved stand hour was blinking, which led me to think it was sorted, but shortly after that it had gone back to blank.


it really is a pain in the @rse. I work from home and I like the notification to make stand and take a short break...

I don't get stand reminders but I get alerts when I close the rings... even though it's set not to alert me. I've never had that switched on so after the last update it's just decided to do that and not remind me to stand. Recently contacted Apple Service through chat for a different Activity app. issue and they checked the hardware on both my phone and watch and confirmed all was fine.


Yes, the wheelchair setting is set to "no."

Yes, I've restarted my phone after this.

Yes, I've unpaired and repaired my watch.

No, it's not set on 'do not disturb.'
