I have an Apple Watch, and my iPhone is synced with my Apple Watch, but for some reason when I go to try and download the Activity App onto my phone, it says “this app requires specific features not available on this device.” Not sure why? I thought that the app should have automatically downloaded onto my phone when I paired the watch with it, but I’m not sure. I’m very confused, lol.
iPhone 11
Okay; so if you swipe downwards on any page of icons to open a search, and enter Activity in the search box, do you see Activity app listed in the Applications search results?
Activity is not a removable app, per Apple; the Activity app should already be present.
If I type Activity into the search bar, it shows the icon for the app and says “view in App Store.” When I go to the App Store, that’s when it tells me that the app requires specific features that’s not available on my phone.
I’d back up, reset, reload iOS, and restore the backup, then.
There’s something wonky with this install, as Activity supposedly cannot be deleted per the folks at Apple.
Which model of iPhone, and which iOS version
(Settings > General > About)
Which Apple Watch, and which watchOS version?
(Watch.app > general > Settings has the watchOS and model.)
I have the iPhone 11 and the iOS version is 13.5.1. The watch is series 5 and the watchOS version is 6.2.8.
Is your iPhone issued by an organization, or otherwise being centrally managed?
If your iPhone was purchased used, was it wiped and reloaded when you first started using it?
No, I purchased my iPhone brand new a few months ago.
Activity app not available on my iPhone?
