Can't download Apple Fitness app to iPad

I’ve got compatible devices and a new Apple Watch, signed up for the free trial on my phone but can’t use it as I can’t download on my iPad Pro. Everything fully updated.

At least I haven’t wasted any money on it as the trial is free, but Apple are going to need to give me another trial for me to want to do this once it is fixed!

Devices you can use with Apple Fitness+ - Apple Support

Same problem. Doesn't show up in app store search. When you like by a google search it says you can't install fitness on your device. Lots of reports of this problem. I suspect Apple will have to fix this soon.

I still can’t get the fitness app on my iPad. Same message. It is updated and rebooted. Any help would be much appreciated.

Same problem here. Any solution? iPad second generation not able to download fitness

Yes you can link up an Watch.

Here are the requirements needed to use the Fitness+ app and Watch with a iPadOS compatible iPad.

Your iPad needs to be updated to the latest iPadOS 14.3 or later.

You need a compatible Watch ( series 3 or later ) updated to its latest WatchOS version.

No options

The Fitness+ app will ask to automatically link the Watch to your iPad/ Fitness+ app, after the download of the Fitness+ app from the iOS App Store.

See the iPad/iPhone instructions here below.

How to start a workout.

Also, make sure all connected Apple devices are using the same Apple ID/password account information.

Contact Apple support via the contact support link located at the upper right hand corner of every Webpage of these Apple support communities.

OR

by installing and using the Apple Support app found in the iOS App Store.

Tap the iOS App Store link below.

Best of Luck to You!

If all of your devices are up to date OS-wise, you need to disconnect your Apple Watch from your iPhone.

Then, Bluetooth connect the Watch to the iPad ( you do not need a watch app on the iPad, iPadOS 14.3 was released specifically to allow a direct Bluetooth connection of a qualifying Apple Watch ).

Once your Watch is connected to the iPad via Bluetooth, you can then go to the iOS App Store and proceed to download the Apple Fitness+ app and use all of its features.

Currently there is no direct AirPlay/screen mirroring from an iPad to any other smart TV or smart device using AirPlay2

Apple, currently has ONLY made this feature available to owners/users of an actual Apple TV box.

Best of Luck to You!

You say that you can link a watch up to an iPad, and Apple says you can link a watch up to an iPad, but it simply does not work. No amount of searching, resetting, updating, restarting has got either of our watches (series 5 & 6) hooked up to either of our iPads (pro models, 1 or 2 years old).

I can get it working on my iPhone, but don’t want to watch a workout on a tiny screen.

I’m pleased that the Fitness+ sub was a trial as I would be more than annoyed if I had paid good money for it!

Did you pair your Apple Watch (runnin watchOS 7.2 or later) with your iPad?

I have this problem as well....iPad Pro with iPadOS 14.3. Apple PLEASE fix this!!!
