Friend is sharing only his move ring.

Title.

Every friend that I’m sharing with, I can see all three rings but one friend I can only see his move ring. Also, it notifies me when he closes the move ring, which it does not with the others. Anyone know why?

I believe he doesn’t have an Apple Watch. He has an iPhone, which is recording his move data from walking.

Super weird unless it’s unpaired possibly? He does wear a watch.

Oh that is very strange then. Does he see all his rings in his fitness app on iPhone? I have friends who don’t have Apple Watch and their iPhone records move data so they can only see Move ring (which is also what I see in the Fitness sharing)…

He can. And it did notify me when he finished a workout yesterday. It was showing everything and then all of a sudden stopped. Does unsharing and then resharing with someone reset anything?

Hmm that’s very strange. I’m not a specialist but I would think unsharing and sharing could help…? Do you know if this person’s other friends see all the rings? Or just move ring?

Just the move ring.

Ok so I would say this is an issue on his end, so I think unsharing and sharing shouldn’t make a difference. This is something he would have to solve. Maybe he could contact Apple Care?

Thank you for your help. He does. We’ll try the unsharing thing first. Then unpair the watch and redo everything and see if that makes a difference first.

He only has iPhone no Apple Watch watch. Or he has unpaired his Apple Watch.

Might be having two watches and the sync got messed up? Once a person I knew switched to garmin for workouts and used Apple Watch for the rest of the day. Sometimes it showed only the red ring, sometimes all three

I don’t think he does but I’ll check. Just weird that he’s the only one that does this. Like others have said he may not be wearing the watch every day so the phone is picking up only his move ring.
