Is this the exact message? Can you send a screenshot? It might be indicating that your phone is running out of space and you cannot install another app without deleting items such as as unwanted apps, photos, videos, cache, and junk files etc:

Open Settings > General > Tap “iPhone Storage” to view and manage storage

So I’ve already checked for space on my phone ( 15gb of space) and my iCloud has loads of space. The message comes up every time I sync my device, and I only have one device and I don’t even have 3 months of data on the app. Anyway, I can still add activities at this point, and nothing else seems affected. I’ve clicked on the manage option on the notice, but it just informs me that there is no space.

I’m getting the same message for the first time today.

I just started getting this yesterday as well. Have very little activity info stored in app, transfer and delete pretty frequently. Seems like this a different message altogether.

You might be right. Some users are getting the "Sync Failed" message, which has been confirmed to be resolved by clearing out device history.

Stored in app or device?

I’m also getting this when trying to sync my Forerunner 735XT. Just started showing up on sync a few days ago. It still syncs my activities, but it’s refusing the sync the 9.80 update (it’s on 9.70 right now).

Likewise, I also started getting this message immediately after downloading the app update two days ago. It is still syncing my activities though.

I have been working with Support. We cleared up space by deleting folders in the Primary | Garmin folder, ran updates/sync, restarted phone, etc. Nothing worked. My activities are also still tracking even though I am receiving the same error. I finally sent the Garmin zip folder to Support for further investigation.

I’m getting same message and it just started yesterday as well. My workouts seem to sync. I’ll be tracking the responses to this. Thanks for posting!
