If you can’t share your Activity rings

Here’s what to do if you can’t share your Activity rings or see updates about your friend’s activity.

Find out more about how to share your activity from Apple Watch.

If you can’t see the Sharing tab

If you’ve paired more than one Apple Watch to your iPhone, the Sharing tab won’t appear in Activity until you update all of your watches to the latest version of watchOS.

If you see an error when trying to add a friend or send an invitation

Sign out of your Apple Account on your iPhone, then sign back in

  1. Tap Settings > [your name].

  2. Scroll down and tap Sign Out.

  3. Enter your Apple Account password, then tap Turn Off. If you’ve forgotten your Apple Account password, you can reset it.

  4. Go back to Settings > Sign in to your [device], then enter your Apple Account password.

  5. Tap Sign In.

  6. Try to add your friend or look for the invitation.

If you still can't add a friend, make sure that they have an Apple Watch and that you haven't added the maximum number of friends. You can add up to 40 friends

If you're not receiving updates about your friend's activity

As long as your iPhone can connect to the internet and you’ve signed in to your Apple Account, you can get updates about your friend’s activity each day. If your iPhone can’t connect for multiple days, or if you sign out of your Apple Account, you may see missing days.
