Not long after Apple rolled out new operating systems, iOS 14 and watchOS 7, quite a few users complained about two issues with the iPhone and Apple Watch. Let's get acquainted with some of these problems and how to fix them, so that you may benefit from the topic if you encounter one of them.
The first problem
It boils down to GPS location services data that is not properly recorded during daily sporting activities. It seems that the problem appeared in all Apple watch models after updating to watchOS 7, and since the problem is related to the operating system, this means that the solution is there, either Apple, as usual, releases a new update that fixes the defect, or advises you to take simple steps to bypass the issue and fix it completely.
What is the problem in detail? How did the user notice it?
In most cases where the problem occurred, users left their phones at home while doing outdoor sports and wearing an Apple Watch, and then when they came back from their workouts and reviewed the activities they had done using the Activity app, they found a starting point for starting the activity on the map, but without any additional information, as if they hadn't. They do whatever activity they say.
The second problem
In addition to the above problem, some users have complained about severe drainage of the Apple Watch battery, iPhone, or both at the same time in watchOS 7 and iOS 14.
As a quick fix for these watch problems, and before Apple clarified the cause of the problems or launched new updates, some users reset the watch and then reconnect it to the iPhone, and sometimes users needed to reset the iPhone as well, and it was confirmed that these problems were fixed when Reset work.
Where is Apple from these problems?
Apple also returned us to be quick in acknowledging the occurrence of a problem and the most important thing is that there are solutions to it, as the company did, in a very short time, adopt the topic on its website here, and it became clear that what users did to reset their devices was the best way to bypass the problem and fix it.
Apple has also listed the problems that users faced after updating to iOS 14 and watchOS 7, which were all fixed using the previous method.
What are the problems mentioned by Apple on its site?
- Your workout path maps are missing in the Fitness app on iPhone for previous GPS-enabled workouts from the Apple Watch.
- Activity app, Heart Rate app, or other health related apps may crash or fail to run or load data to Apple Watch.
- Fitness app or Health app may crash or fail to play or load data on Apple Watch.
- Incorrect uploading and saving of data to the Health or Fitness app.
- Incorrect loading and saving of data to the Activity app.
- The Environmental Sound or headphone volume data from the Apple Watch has disappeared in the Health health app on the iPhone.
- Acute drain on the battery of the iPhone or the battery of the Apple Watch.
As we mentioned, resetting the watch or resorting to a phone reset has completely fixed the above problems without having to wait for a new update from Apple.
How do you reset Apple Watch?
Here is how to reset the Apple Watch on an iPhone
First, you need an iPhone paired with an Apple Watch
Run the Watch app on the iPhone and watch the watch near the phone
Now scroll down and click "General"
Click on the "Reset" option.
- Choose "Erase Apple Watch Content and Settings"
Now click on the word “Erase All Content and Settings” twice to confirm the operation
After this step, you will need to make a new pairing of the watch with the iPhone, and you can also return the watch data from the backup in the iCloud cloud if you use this feature, or set it as a new watch.
What if I reset the watch and the problem does not go away?
You may need to reset your phone as well to get rid of the problem, and below we show how to do it simply, taking into account the need to connect to a Wi-Fi network or the Internet and know the password for the Apple ID that is used for the iCloud cloud, if you have turned on Find My iPhone feature. The user should also make a backup copy of the saved important information before starting to perform a factory reset of the device.
The following is how to restore the iPhone settings as follows:
- At first, the user needs to go to Settings, choose General, and then go down to the bottom of the list.
- From the bottom of the menu, the user chooses the Reset option, then selects Erase All Content and Setting from it, then enters the passcode, if he has it.
After that, he presses the option to Erase iPhone and then Erase iPhone again to confirm, then he enters the Apple ID password and presses Erase.
Once you do the previous steps, all the data on the phone will be erased, and the new iOS screen will appear to welcome the user just like the first time the phone is turned on.

Previously, I used to enter the password once when wearing the watch. Now with every movement, I must enter the password. Another problem with the exercise is to start the exercise and it is paused in less than a minute. Thank you.
The Apple Watch after the update is seven hours, and it will be empty in a solution to the problem
I want a question. Why is it all about watches? Why not for the iPhone?
Peace be upon you all
I have a problem that the watch fell from me to the ground and a crack occurred in the screen, and the knees needed a new screen, but I learned that the screens that you install do not support Apple Pay, meaning if the screen is fixed, I will not be able to use the watch to pay
Do you know the veracity of this statement, and where can I find repair or replacement of the screen in Riyadh - Saudi Arabia?
It was in an application that saved the links to the programs I liked, but it was not needed at a later time, and when I needed it, I entered the program and downloaded it. Someone thought the name of this program
The Apple Watch battery problem is what I encountered and it is a big problem as I wear the watch with a full battery and go home an hour later and the battery drained to the other…!
I guess I'll wait for the update from Apple in order not to lose the hourly information
Thank you for your efforts and good luck
We worked all the solutions provided by the technicians, but the battery problem is still there. This is a defect in the update and Apple must solve the problem.
Honor me, I wait for the update and do not do a reset, because the contents of my device need long hours to recover from the cloud, the suffering I have in the hour, the battery runs out with lightning speed to the point that I suspected in the Apple Watch Series 6, that its battery is less than its predecessor, thanks for the article
But it is important to work Backup on the computer or iCloud before resetting and wiping data
Of course, as mentioned in the article, this topic is very important before any reset process for any Apple device
The question that arises, why does Apple reduce the battery capacity?
I faced this same problem after the update and the charging was draining quickly and the maximum power was drained for charging, the battery health was reading 97 and after a week it became 90% This thing is strange and to the knowledge that my device is 11pro max 😭😭
Restore has been made for iPhone 7 Plus
The battery drain issue has not been resolved
So what is the solution?
Most likely you need a new battery for the phone now after 4 years since the release of the iPhone 7
It is best to check the health of your phone's battery first:
Go to Settings
- and then to the Battery
Then click on Battery Health status
- You will find the status of your phone's battery and the maximum capacity for recharging, if you find it (relatively) low, this means that it is time to replace the battery.
Hi
When I updated iPhone X to version 14, the Face ID feature stopped with me !! I talked to the worker at Apple through their application, he told me to do a complete wipe for my iPhone through iTunes. I did, no, but the feature is not working yet !! Is the Iwas 14 version possible to cause damage to my video camera ??
There is a problem with the application to my prayers
It is not working properly on the watch at this time
Yes, it needs to be updated
I have a problem with the speaker sound during the call, which dropped annoyingly with the new update to the point that I became a favorite to use the headphones a lot
My iPhone 11
Has anyone been through this problem? Does it have a solution other than resetting?
Thank you
What this means is that you have to download programs from the backup and that takes a long time to download programs again, especially if you depend on downloading programs for cellular data if you do not have a WiFi network
But when you do the aforementioned process, all applications will not be deleted as well
Peace be upon you, my dear brother, if you have a backup copy, the applications will be downloaded one by one ... the process may take time depending on the Internet speed and the amount of applications that you have on your device.
I forgot to mention that before resetting the phone we must take a backup of the data so that after the reset we can restore the data from the backup.
Thanks for the warning, my dear brother, the reminder is already present in the article, this topic is very important before any reset process for any Apple device
The device is with me Masar 3 months
The battery is now 98%
Ash color
The device is with iPhone 11 Pro Max
The battery case was one hundred in a hundred
After that, it became 98 percent
The device is not lost for 3 months
Hi
I encountered problems with the iPhone after updating to iOS 14, and it was completely resolved after performing the reset all settings only and without the need to format the device
The sound of the new original wired headphones is weak
Do I have to chop my devices in order to solve the problem !! And where is the Apple update so far? What came?
Unfortunately, this is the solution now, but an update is expected next Tuesday.
Thank you 🌹
My regular iPhone 7 phone .. and I initially suffered from the camera not working and the microphone .. then updated it to the XNUMX beta version, the camera problem was solved, but the mic did not work
Hello, I have an iPad 2
IPad 3
IPad mini first or second generation
From the time of the FaceTime week, almost there is no communication between the devices, given the new generation iPads and the iPhone, there is no malfunction in FaceTime, so the problem is from Apple
Active follow-up.
شكرا لكم
For your information .. I did not get this problem
