I did something stupid and update to IOS 14 Beta 2, not thinking much of it. After two days a release that the garment connects app does not work anymore. Any suggestion? should i downgrade my iPhone or waiting for a fix. I have Bluetooth Sharin On. 

The app can connect to the watch, but won't pair. Stuck in "Completing setup of your Fenix 5x Plus device. "Pairing Failed"

    I am on iOS 14 Public Beta 2, iPhone SE (2020), firstly Garmin Connect started, but I get exclamation mark in red with "Network error" notice, now it starts as newly installed. But incoming calls and notifications showing on my Instinct Tactical without problems. But nothing more - no history of notifications, no calendar, ... Only incoming calls and notification when arrived. Hopefully next Garmin Connect update will work also on iOS 14. No downgrade of iOS from my side, I will wait how things turn up..

    Same here. The watch is connected, but can’t be paired correctly. Brand new Garmin Tactix Delta. Latest beta from iOS 14. The sync stops in the middle of the progress bar. Always. My other 2 phones , Samsung and older iPhone 6, with ios13, work great. I hope someone in Garmin notice this and the final iOS 14 will not have the same huge problem.

    Edit: Solved it with iOS 14 final version. Also working with all next Developers betas.

    Running iOS 14.7 (sept 3rd) and I cannot setup my garmin edge 1030 cycling computer in ios garmin connect. I connect (BT) Edge 1030. accept the pass key, pair, accept notifications, the progress bar fills up 80%, ios shows "it looks like something went wrong... Retry" but on edge it says "connected". in ios connect it's not shown as "setup" Hopefully Garmin knows this doesn't work with ios 14 and has it fixed before it's released.

    So my watch pared with the iPhone and  it does connect but does not stay connected. I am on 14.1 so trying an update to 14.2 now to see does that help. I have a funny feeling this is a power saving function on the iPhone that disables Bluetooth after a certain amount of time.....

    My 245 will also not receive messages but will show calls. Has Garmin given any information on why there is an issue?

    See this thread and post marked as answer from Garmin-AmberD - Smart Notifications

    Not sure if the same directions apply to iOS 14 Beta 2, but worth a try.
