After the iPhone update, my Health app only updates steps/miles every 10 minutes. It used to do it every minute. Is there a setting to make it update more frequently, so I can track my distance traveled in something closer to real time?
iPhone SE, iOS 11.0.1
Mine is updating every 10 minutes as well. The lack of real time makes this app useless. What’s worse is that sometimes my distance, steps or stairs take several hours to update. Yesterday, it took 4 hours to update my distance. It’s even more useless since distance, steps and stairs update independently of each other (ie at different times). Therefore, I dont get consistent data at the same time across all categories. I wish Apple would stop dicking around with things that work. Just because something is ‘new’ doesnt make it better. Have you seen the word ‘Inbox’ in the email app that takes up 1 inch on a 4 inch screen? I wonder who makes these poor design decisions?
I suppose the answer will be “it’s what our customers asked for” in an indirect kind of way. They probably asked for the battery to last longer so cut the updates!! I was kind of liking using this to get a bit fitter but it’s pointless now!!!
Yes it’s gone from being useful to being something not as useful. Why do they do this!!!
It’s probally fine if you buy a Apple Watch!!!
