I have a Vivoactive 6. I've been using it for several months now. I recently noticed that some information is not being synced to Apple Health, specifically the activity data that shows move, exercise, and stand goals. It was syncing for a while, but stopped about a month ago.
From my research, it seems to be that the missing "Motion & Fitness" permission in settings might be the cause (Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness). Garmin Connect doesn't even show up as an option in this list.
I've tried the following:
- Uninstalled Garmin Connect
- Verified Garmin Connect no longer shows in Health permissions list
- Restarted the phone
- Reinstalled Garmin Connect.
After those steps, I'm able to approve Apple Health permissions again within Garmin Connect, but the app still doesn't show in the Motion & Fitness section of privacy settings. I'm not positive this is the problem, but it seems to make sense give other data is syncing to Apple Health just fine.
