I can't set up my fall detection app on my Apple Watch 7 Plus. The option doesn't show up.

I've tried about everything but can't locate the fall detection app. I've entered my health profile, etc. and my age shows up. I have wrist detection triggered and location. My phone says there is no data under health. What am I doing wrong?

Windows, Windows 10

Open Settings on your iPhone, then tap Health/Medical ID and check your details.

Then;

Open the Health app and tap the Summary tab.

Tap your profile picture in the top right-hand corner.

Tap Health Profile, then tap Edit.

Check your information, like height, weight and age.

Tap Done.

If you're over 65 then fall detection is turn on by default

If you go into the watch app on the phone and tap on health and check your details in health details and medical id.

By the way which apple watch do you have?,fall detection only works in Apple watch 4 and upwards.
