(Solved) Sycnchronize Activities with MyFitnessPal

I've been searching for a solution for Activities not synchronizing with MyFitnessPal to no avail. I’ve finally figured it on my own and I thought it might be helpful to post it to those who are facing the same issue. Since all the topic discussing this issue are locked, I’m starting a new one.


1. Go to Settings / MyFitnessPal and make sure none of the permissions settings are preventing the App to work properly.

After clicking on “Don’t Read Steps from Apple Watch”, ”iPhone“ will be selected automatically.


5. Now it is time to tap “Apple Watch” again! However, this time, you’re going to tap on “Update Health App Permissions”.
