Garmin Connect Sync on iOS 11

Since I updated to iOS 11, Garmin Connect Mobile no longer syncs with my Garmin Fenix 5S automatically via Bluetooth. I need to open the GC Connect App, and them manually click on the sync button (or do the same on my watch).

    Yesterday after GCM 3.22.3 update my devices are pairing and syncing - thus it was a Garmin issue and not an Apple issue.
  • Same problem after update to iOS 11 (and the latest iOS 11.0.2), both Fenix 3 and Edge 1030 continue to have sync problems and often I have strange sync issues. Before, when I was using iOS 10.x everything was working well!

    Yay! I plugged my Forerunner 235 into Garmin Express, and today's update fixed my connection problem. I still have GCM 3.22.2.8, not 3.22.3.

    In my case my VivoActive pairs with my iPhone 6 just fine and updates the Connect Mobile app on my phone. My problem is that the phone doesn't sync with the Garmin Connect site to update my activities.

    By the way, my PC doesn't recognize my VivoActive. when I attach it to the computer. It does "see" my Edge 705 just fine.
  • I have the same issues. Repairing worked for a while now impossible for devices to connect. Phone says watch is connected but can't sync.


    I'm having the same problem. I've updated to IOS 11.0.2, updated the app, and my vivoactive HR. Removing the bluetooth connection didn't work either. The phone (iphone 7) finds the watch, but the app will not connect. It "has a problem pairing".

    Exactly the same here. Now is seems to work as good as before iOS11!
  • I called the support this morning and they confirmed that there is an issue open about incompatibility with iOS 11

    Unable to sync since upgrade to iOS 11
  • Has anyone tried the new 11.0.3 update to see if that solves it - reluctant to be the first user!

    iOS11.0.3 solved this issue for me. iPhone6s, Forerunner 735XT
