Frequently asked questions
Why is my apple watch not sharing my activity with friends?
On the off chance that you matched more than one Apple Watch to your iPhone, the Sharing tab will not show up in Activity until you update every one of your watches to the most recent adaptation of watchOS. Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, then, at that point sign back in: On iOS 10.2 or prior, return to Settings > iCloud, then, at that point enter your Apple ID and secret phrase.
How can you tell if someone is hiding their activity on Apple Watch?
No, she will not get a warning that you’ve concealed your movement from her and the possible way she’ll discover is in the event that she goes to the “sharing” tab on her action application (on the Watch/iPhone) and it’ll show that you’re as of now concealing your action from her.
