Fertility predictions cannot be turned off

eury13 — Wed, 13 May 2026 23:52:49 GMT

My wife has noticed that in her Garmin Connect app on iOS, she is not able to turn off fertility predictions. She will go into the settings and toggle the predictions off, but when she returns to the menstrual tracking page the prediction is still there, and when she goes back to the settings it has been re-enabled. Is this a known bug?

Connect App crashes when adding notes to Blood Pressure readings

7928484 — Wed, 13 May 2026 17:03:20 GMT

When adding notes to blood pressure readings taken by the Index BPM and synced to Garmin Connect, Connect will crash if you try to add a note to readings taken on more than two days.

As an example, if I have a reading taken on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and I want to add a note to each one, I can add a note to Tuesday and Monday, but the moment I tap the text box for Sunday, the app will crash.

This crash seems to be day specific and not reading specific, as I have been able to update multiple readings on a single day and on two days, but the moment the text field on a third day is selected it will crash. A current work around for this is to exit the Blood Pressure page and go back to either the Home page or the Health Stats page, re-enter the Blood Pressure page, and navigate back to the day you left off at.

personalisation: allow to choose man or woman diagram for targeted muscles

3662295 — Mon, 11 May 2026 08:41:25 GMT

Hi,

I suggest a simple personalisation feature in the app, so that user can choose whether to see a man diagram or a woman diagram to show the primary muscles, secondary muscles and untargeted muscles in the app and the watch.

A very significant percentage of your users are female, and we should be able to see ourselves represented, rather than have a man diagram as the universal one.

Ps. do not try to pretend that the current diagram is gender neutral, it is not :)

Thanks for your consideration.

Garmin Connect Not Recording Exercise Time Correctly

CaptainBlue — Mon, 11 May 2026 08:40:07 GMT

When doing a ride on ROUVY, my data comes in but recently it's showing much shorter times.

This morning's 11.67km ride took 19m 4s according to Strava (where the upload from ROUVY also goes) but only 11m and 17s on Garmin Connect.

works correct on my android phone but not iPhone

Custom multisport does not contribute to endurance score.

rafaelcavalcante — Sun, 10 May 2026 21:44:22 GMT

I have created a custom multisport by indoor cycling (I have a tacx ande a phoenix 7 with heart rate) and outdoor running.

Usually I measure the sports separately, but as I read that long workouts contribute more than two short , I tried to do that in a multisport session.

The endurance score hasn’t changed anything . And to be clear it works alright when I do theses sports isolated.

Weekly step count total view... PLEASE

Mark — Fri, 08 May 2026 18:57:22 GMT

I am a new Vivoactive 6 user, coming from a decade of Fitbit use. I am desperately looking for a weekly step count view. Week to date, where a week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Is there such a view available anywhere?

I have been sticking to a 100k weekly step count goal since 2016. I can't really describe how much better this is than a daily step count goal - but nobody, including Fitbit allows me to set a weekly goal and gives me a progress view as the week progresses... oh well. Fitbit at least very clearly and simply showed me a Mon - Sunday view along with a step total for the week.

So, first, is there any such view anywhere in the iOS app, or even in the browser?

Secondly... i cannot stress enough how useful a weekly step-count goal is for continued step tracking engagement. Once a streak of meeting a weekly goal is earned, one does not want to break it. I've been doing this 100k/week thing since 2016. I've run multiple small-group step 'challenges' where we raise money for a cause by working together as a team for 4 weeks to meet team goals... i.e. I have a ton of experience on this topic. So ideally, not just a Mon-Sun week total view, but a goal, a view that shows pace/progress towards the goal, and the ability to put this on my home screen as the first tile I see when I launch the app.

Daily streaks just don't work for long-term motivation. Breaking a daily streak will just happen and once one has a daily streak going, it tends to just incur daily anxiety to not break it. Once a daily streak is broken, one loses all interest in starting a new one. But with a weekly goal, there is no daily anxiety... except on Sunday if I am way behind!! It is much more engaging to work throughout the week to get to a total by Sunday night.

Disable find my edge notifications on iOS

Jesse — Wed, 06 May 2026 16:22:46 GMT

How do i disable find my edge notifications in garmin? Not for watches, for bike computers?

They're very annoying and have zero value.

If i was still on android it would be so easy. iOS is so limited. sigh.

Feature Request: Bidirectional Hydration Sync (Apple Health → Garmin Connect)

Alex_aus_Ulm — Wed, 06 May 2026 13:07:18 GMT

Hello everyone,

Currently, Garmin Connect reliably exports hydration data to Apple Health. However, the synchronization only works in one direction.

The Proposal I would like to see Garmin Connect read hydration data from Apple Health and import it into Connect during synchronization (bidirectional sync).

Why is this important? Many users rely on specialized apps or smart devices that write their data directly into the Apple Health ecosystem. In my case, these include:

Brita Water App (for daily hydration)
HiCoffee (for caffeine and fluid balance)

The Problem Since Garmin does not import this data from Apple Health, there is often a gap in the Garmin Connect overview. Users either have to manually re-enter the data in Garmin (double the effort) or deal with incomplete statistics. This inconsistency affects the overall picture of daily recovery and training readiness.

It would be a great feature if Garmin could fully utilize Apple Health as a "Single Source of Truth" to improve the user experience for iOS users. Since the export interface already exists, adding the import functionality to the Connect Hydration API would be a logical and highly appreciated next step.

What are your thoughts? Do you also use external apps for tracking and miss the automatic import?

Best regards, Alex

Missing activities in apple health

fallingrock — Tue, 05 May 2026 18:11:25 GMT

I just noticed that a lot of cycling activities are missing in apple health.

A ride I did yesterday is there, but before that the last entry is from August.

Anyone know if this is a known bug and/or if there is a way to force activities to resync?

thanks

The Connect training data has disappeared.

9987641 — Tue, 05 May 2026 18:08:20 GMT

I synced with the new running training app and Connect recognized it as a new account, and I lost all my old data in the Connect app. I managed to keep the old data on the watch. What happened?

Garmin connect crashes consistently and no longer syncs data to apple health-- after returning from trip to Japan.

1809501 — Tue, 05 May 2026 14:35:03 GMT

The App crashes consistently within 30 seconds of trying to do anything. This only started happening once I returned to the USA from Japan. Interestingly, data from the returning day of the time change is when data from garmin connect also stopped syncing to apple health.

Bug: Batch editing exercises in strength activity - if the first one is already set to desired exercise, changes to rest don't apply

tomaskafka — Mon, 04 May 2026 21:46:52 GMT

This is becoming more serious with recent Fenix 8 betas with broken exercise recognition.

Repro steps: Have a strength workouts with exercises badly identified as eg.

1. Benchpress

2. Something else

3. Something completely wrong

I then want to change all three to benchpress (because I did a set of 3 benchpresses), so I select 1...3, edit them, and select benchpress.

Expected: Connect iOS app should change all three to benchpress

Actual behavior: Connect app thinks "1st element from selection == selected exercise, no change occured", keeps showing exercise types for selection as "Mixed", saving it doen't have any effect.

Is there a way to search the workouts that I have created?

9075773 — Mon, 04 May 2026 17:26:41 GMT

I have created many workouts in Garmin Connect on my iPhone. The only way to add them to the calendar that I know of is to scroll through 8 screens of workouts until I find the one I want to add.

Statut d'entrainement/Charge d'entrainement

4812794 — Mon, 04 May 2026 09:19:56 GMT

Bonjour,
Depuis que j'ai acheté ma nouvelle montre Garmin mon statut d'entrainement ne se met pas à jour. Ma VO2max elle, fonctionne correctement et se met à jour, en revanche la charge d'entrainement n'a plus de données depuis que j'ai la nouvelle montre, ce qui est probablement à l'origine du bug pour le statut d'entrainement.

Quelqu'un a déja eu ce problème? Savez-vous ce que je peux faire?

Merci.

Garmin Run Coach worse than useless

Thekaj — Sun, 03 May 2026 19:28:25 GMT

Not a question, but a rant. Eight weeks ago I ran a half marathon using one of the 3 plans to successfully lower my finish time. I’ve got another one coming up in three weeks, so I asked for another plan to reduce my time even further. But apparently 11 weeks is not enough time for one of the human coach’s plans, so it offered a computer generated one. The mid-week training has been fine, with a good variety of speed workouts. However the weekend long runs have been completely insufficient. As I said, I was already at the distance conditioning for a half. It should have just kept me close to that level. Instead, it’s actually been reducing my distance as the weeks go by. And I will note, I have been hitting the goals each run.

My weekly “long runs”:

1 hour 24 minutes

1 hour 30 minutes

45 minutes

53 minutes

42 minutes

1 hour 16 minutes

1 hour 3 minutes - this week

1 hour 3 minutes (scheduled)

These are all roughly 9:20 pace, so my longest run, way back in the second week, was about 10 miles. I’m now 3 weeks from the race, in the “peaking” phase, and it’s telling me I should be doing around 7 miles for my long run. Yesterday I finally threw up my hands, ignored the plan and ran for 90 minutes. As I suspected, I was pretty gassed by the end. Next week, my final long run before the taper, it’s again telling me to run 63 minutes. I will again ignore it and try pushing it to an hour and 45 minutes in an attempt to get a last minute increase in my mileage.

This has been completely unacceptable. At worst, I just needed to maintain my fitness to do this half. Instead, this plan has me worse off than when I started. Any “adaptation” it makes is to reduce the workouts, and there doesn’t seem to be any lower limit to keep it from detraining you out of a race. Absolutely do not use the Garmin Run “Coach”.

People can’t accept my friend request

Subject: Broken Account Connections: Reciprocity loop and "ghost" requests after mass deletion

Body:

Hi everyone,

I’m facing a persistent and very specific bug with my Garmin Connect account connections that even official support hasn't been able to solve after two weeks of troubleshooting.

The Problem: I cannot establish mutual connections with other users. While people can follow me, I cannot follow them back. When I send a request and the other person accepts it, the request simply reappears on their end immediately as if it was never accepted. On my end, it looks like the request is still "Pending" or never went through.

Background & Timeline:

I originally had around 900 connections.
I did a mass cleanup, deleting my list down to about 300.
Immediately after this, the "reciprocity" broke. I could no longer successfully add new friends.

What I have tried (none of which worked):

Web vs. App: The issue persists on both the Garmin Connect mobile app and the Web version.
Extreme Cleanup: I eventually deleted all my followers and everyone I was following (starting from zero).
Account Changes: I changed my account email address, but the bug stayed with my profile.
Support: I’ve been in contact with Garmin Support for 2 weeks. I provided diagnostic logs (Code: 3TNRJ) and screen recordings, but they are currently stumped.

It seems like my account is stuck in some kind of "rate limit" or database conflict triggered by the mass deletion of 600+ users.

Has anyone else experienced this "request loop"? Is there any way to force-refresh the account's social database? Any help or advice from the community (или Garmin devs) would be greatly appreciated.

Device: Venu 3 Account Status: Currently 0 followers / 0 following, yet still unable to add anyone.

Why not sync data from Apple Health?

Iikeli — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:48:43 GMT

Why doesn't Garmin Connect pull any data from Apple Health?

It would be great if Garmin could pull data when there is no data (or worse data) from Garmin itself.

I use Oura ring to track my sleep, and it works a lot better than a watch does, since I have wrist tattoos. This made me wonder why garmin isn't pulling any data from Apple Health (like weight)? Seems silly that I need to manually input everything through the Connect app.

May Challenges?

Track doesn't load in the app

vpmvanderhulst — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 12:26:47 GMT

I have imported a (relatively large (1000KM)) track on my Garmin Connect (on the iMac).

On the app (iPhone) I can find the track in 'courses' but it doesn't loadI

Instead of the track it shows the entire map of Europe without any track.

Do I have to adjust a setting within the app? Or is the specific track to long.

Thank for any answer.

Rides Not Showing Up Anymore

ROVINATO — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 18:36:01 GMT

Until recently, my road rides synced with Strava and Garmin Connect, but they no longer do. My Zwift rides still sync. I have unpaired and re-paired accounts through Strava. I have deleted my watch entirely and re-paired it in Connect. I have deleted both Strava and Connect and re-downloaded them. Nothing. Very frustrating.
