Apple fitness data cannot update

My Apple Fitness cannot update some friends' data but some are fine.

I tried to sing in again, reset my phone, however, it does not work.

I have this issue about 1 years ago and I cannot do nothing.

Suddenly, it is ok in someday.


Now, it is happened again, Is there anyone same issue?


How do you solve it?


Please kindly share your experience to me, thank you.

  1. Remove → re-add each friend whose data doesn’t update
  2. Ask the friend to check Fitness Sharing / Motion & Fitness switches
  3. Turn OFF/ON Fitness Tracking and reboot
  4. Sign out/in of iCloud
  5. If still broken → unpair/repair Apple Watch

You won’t lose Activity history, and one of these steps normally fixes it.

1.Remove → re-add each friend whose data doesn’t update

Tried before, not work, the data will be updated at that moment, then, stop again.

2.Ask the friend to check Fitness Sharing / Motion & Fitness switches

Check, the setting is fine.

3.Turn OFF/ON Fitness Tracking and reboot

Tried, not work, nothing heppened.

4.Sign out/in of iCloud

Tried before, it doesn't work. I tried many times.

It will lose my data in wallet and I need to add my card again, it is a little bit annoyed.

5.If still broken → unpair/repair Apple Watch

The reason that I don't want to use this is that there will be two same devices in the data bank list, like two Apple watch Ultra 3.

I have to admit that I do not like to see that, especially I do not really change my apple watch.

It makes me uncomfortable.


I really think this issue is coming from the server, not in local device.

Perhaps it will be fine someday just like the last time I had.


I am really appreciate your time to help me, thank you.
