MyFitnessPal not syncing with Apple Health app

The past few days have been terrible for MFP, workouts only appear "sometimes" and the Apple Watch adjustment calories seem to be incorrect now as well. Not sure what they've done recently but it's got even worse, the newsfeed trick doesn't work the same as it used to - you can refresh the newsfeed and still nothing appears even after trying it countless times.

This is disgraceful from MFP, do they not have a UX team?! They should be embarrassed for releasing a version of an app that doesn't even seem like it is in the beta stages...

Good morning, I did a MFP update last night and my data pulled through this morning for the first time in months without any manual intervention. I really hope this means the long standing issue is resolved!!

I've asked the same question in the MFP Community pages and haven't had a reply yet.

I'm having the same problem with my new apple watch SE just purchased last week and iPhone 8 running IOS 16.

Syncing workouts works fine. Syncing steps doesn't work. I can see the steps in my Activity App on the phone and watch, and in the Health app on my phone (I don't see a Health app on the watch).

MFP keeps asking me to "connect to track steps." But it shows me exercise calories and time based on Apple Health App Workouts. I don't know why the exercise functionality doesn't ask for a "conection."

Any suggestions in this forum? (the Newsfeed/swipe down action in MFP discussed above doesn't do anything for me)

THANK YOU! It did work! I have deleted and reinstalled and reconnected everything twice and nothing was working. Thanks for posting!

You are so welcome! It was very frustrating!! So glad we could help!!

Worked for me too! Thank you, I was getting sooo frustrated 🫣😩😁

This has frustrated me a lot this week and this fixes it for me as well! Thank you 😊

Ya'll I can tell you how stressed I was trying to make this work. I love the new dashboard of MFP but my watch was not syncing. Thank your BF SO MUCH because OMG!!

Thank you so much I was going out of my mind. Problems only happened after the MyFitnessPal update.

Just added my complaints to MFP!

Same problem for me, tried everything still no data! Started in June, I workout regularly so this is a big deal for me not to be able to accurately and automatically track my workouts.

I’ve tried for months to figure this out!

Thanks boyfriend

That must have been frustrating. I am having a hard time trying to get MFP read my Apple Watch steps. How do you force MFP to read Apple Watch steps? I was hoping you would know that answer.

Thanks

Hello, I’m trying to get my calories to register from my watch to my iPhone, but I don’t understand where the “newsfeed” thing is at. Can you please walk me through it. Thank you
