iOS 18.6.2 background data sync Fenix 7 Standard

I have moved to iPhone 16 from Android and I am experiencing sync issues. It looks like the background service stops syncing. I am loosing actual data on my Connect App's Home screan. I have to manualy sync data. Another consequence is that watches stops to display weather data on display.

I have reseted watches to factory settings, checked Background App Refresh. Everything looks ok from the side of user settings.

This is really annoying and never had this problem on Android device. 

My Fenix 7 has firmware 22.06 and iPhone 16 iOS 18.6.2

Anybody else is having these issues?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day

  • Make sure that Garmin Connect always got location access to make the weather work.

    If you force close an app on iPhone it will stay closed. On Android it will automatically start a background process if needed. So, never force close the Garmin Connect app on iPhone. Don't do it on Android either since it will just automatically start again.

  • Yes, maybe that's the point. I am just used to close all the apps in the backgroud. But it is strange, because I receive push notifications, and sometimes it sync without started application. It is really strange.
