How to fix when your Apple Watch Trends are missing after updating watchOS
If you are having this issue, here are some steps that you can follow to retrieve your old Trends information back to your device.
Before proceeding with the steps, it’s important to understand some of the essential facets behind the Trends feature.
Trends compares your last 90 days of activity to the previous 365 days.
To see the Trends analysis, you should have enough historical information available.
If you are starting, you may not find any information within the Trends feature.
Where can you locate your Activity / Fitness Trends?
Open up the new Fitness app on your iPhone to locate your Trends.
- From the Fitness App, tap on the Summary tab at the bottom
- Swipe up here to see trends
- Tap on ‘Show more’ for insights
- To check the history of trends, tap on it.
Bottom line, if the arrow related to a metric is pointing up, you are improving your fitness levels, and if it’s pointing down, you may want to check out the insights section to adjust your fitness and lifestyle regimen.
Apple Watch Trends Missing after watchOS update? How to Fix

- To do this, tap on Settings and tap on your Apple ID at the top of your screen
- Scroll down to the bottom and choose ‘Sign Out’
- Enter your password when requested and follow through
- Perform a forced restart of your device and then sign back in from the Settings app
- Next, check on your Fitness app to see if your trend history is back
Summary
Based on our experience, we have found that historical information stored in iCloud and Apple servers often refresh when a sign-out/sign-in operation is performed.
The process perhaps refreshes the background functions, and your data starts refreshing again.
We hope that this helps you. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
None of this worked. Any other ideas?
Hi Allen,
Have you tried unpairing yourself watch and then re-pairing it?
Unpair Apple Watch with or without your iPhone or Watch
If you already did that and still have issues with trends, then the next thing to try is a complete erase and restore of backup.
To ensure your health information is stored, please go to Settings > iCloud > and toggle on the Health app if it’s not already on.
Then backup your iPhone to iCloud via Settings > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Backup Now.
Once backed up, go to Settings > Reset > Erase all Content & Settings.
Follow all the steps on screen to erase your iPhone and then set it up again, making sure you select Restore from iCloud backup and finally check your Trends and see if your information populates.
Hope one of these does the trick. Keep us posted.
