When you stop sharing activity on Apple Watch, any activity data collected from your watch will no longer be shared with the Activity app on your iPhone. The data will still be available on your watch, including the Activity rings, but you’ll need to manually transfer it to your phone if you want to view this information in the Health app.
In addition, any integrate health apps you have set up on your watch to share data with your iPhone will no longer transfer this information, meaning your Health app will be missing data from those sources.
Finally, any challenges you have set up with friends in the Activity app will no longer be able to share your progress.
Why is my Activity not sharing with friends?
First, make sure that you have enabled social sharing in the Activity settings. If social sharing is enabled, then it may be that the Activity does not allow for sharing with friends. Some activities do not permit sharing, or limit the scope of who can share with whom.
Make sure you check the settings to see if that is the case. Additionally, make sure that the friends you are trying to share the Activity with have set their privacy settings appropriately. Some users may have their settings set to only allow specific individuals, or family members, to view their shared Activities.
Lastly, check to see if your friends have disabled or removed the app or platform you are using to share your Activity. If so, then they will not be able to receive or view what you are sharing.
Why are my Activity rings greyed out?
Your Activity rings may be greyed out for a few reasons. The rings are monitored by the Activity app on your iPhone or Apple Watch and represent the amount of activity you do throughout the day. The rings will become greyed out when you don’t move enough throughout the day or haven’t earned the required amount of Move, Exercise, and Stand minutes.
If your Exercise ring is greyed out, it could be because you’ve set an unreachable goal or you’ve had an inactive day. If you want to earn the Exercise ring for the day, you’ll need to engage in a 30-minute activity such as swimming, running or playing a sport.
Exercising will help you reach your daily goal, and can even help you unlock achievements and earn awards.
If your Movement or Stand Ring are greyed out, it may indicate you haven’t moved or stood enough throughout the day to reach your goal. To resolve this issue, you should aim to move around for at least one minute for every hour you’re awake.
Additionally, getting up and moving every hour can help you reach your move goal and ensure your rings aren’t greyed out.
Earning your Activity rings is important as it promotes a healthy and active lifestyle and encourages you to reach your daily goal. If you have any further questions, we recommend speaking with an Apple Specialist or visit the Apple Support website.

How do I remove someone from my Apple Watch Activity?
Unfortunately, you cannot remove someone from your Apple Watch Activity. However, if you feel like your privacy is being violated, you can limit what data can be seen by other people. To do this, you’ll need to open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and then go to ‘Privacy’ in the ‘My Watch’ section.
From there, you can uncheck the boxes for “Show Activity Summary” and “Share Workouts” for anyone that you don’t want to see your activity data. You can also select whether you want to include friends when competing in challenges and have them be notified when you complete a workout.
What does mute notifications mean on Apple Watch Activity?
Muting notifications on Apple Watch activity allows users to keep their watch silent while they exercise and stay focused on their exercise goals. When notifications are muted the watch will not sound an alert or vibrate when it receives a notification.
This won’t prevent the watch from receiving alerts, but instead, will allow users to keep them on their wrist but turn off the audible and physical alert. Muting notifications can be helpful if a user doesn’t want to be distracted by alerts while they exercise, but still wants to have the data from their workouts uploaded to the Health App.
It can also be helpful for people who prefer to track their progress privately and do not want other people to be aware that they are exercising or completing their goal.
Why would my iPhone stop sharing my location with someone?
The first possibility is that your privacy settings could have been changed or edited, and one of the options is to turn off location services. If this is the case, you may need to go into your iPhone’s settings and re-enable your location services to start sharing your location with others again.
The second possibility is that the person you are trying to share your location with may have blocked your attempts to share your location with them. If this is the case, then you’ll need to ask that person to unblock you before your location sharing attempts will be successful.
Last, there could be technical issues on your iPhone that are preventing the device from sharing your location. If this is the case, then you may need to reset your network settings, or even try a factory reset to correct the issue.
How do you know if someone stopped sharing their location with you on iPhone?
If someone has stopped sharing their location with you on iPhone, you should first try to contact them to find out why they have stopped sharing. If they don’t provide an explanation, you can use Find My Friends, which is an app that allows you to view people who you have shared location with.
If the person is no longer listed on this app, that means they have stopped sharing their location with you. Additionally, you could use iCloud, if both of you have an iCloud account. With iCloud, you can monitor their activity with iMessage and see if their location is shared or not.
If the location does not show, then that indicates that they have stopped sharing.
Can you stop sharing your location with someone without them knowing?
Yes, you can stop sharing your location with someone without them knowing. Depending on the device and operating system you are using, there are a few ways you can stop sharing your location.
If you are using an Android device with Google Maps, you can choose to turn off Location Sharing from the app’s settings, or sign out of your account to revoke the sharing permission. You can also go to the Google account settings and turn off Location History on the Privacy Settings page.
For Apple devices, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, and then select the app whose permission you want to revoke. You can also go to Settings > iCloud and turn off the Share My Location option.
It is also possible to disable Location Sharing in other messaging or social media apps, such as WhatsApp or Facebook, by going to the app’s settings.
No matter what device or operating system you use, you can also always deny any permission requests related to location sharing when prompted.
Can Location Services turn off by itself?
Yes, Location Services can turn off by itself depending on the device being used. For example, on iOS, if an app is in the background and not actively using Location Services, it can be turned off by the operating system after a certain period of time to save battery life.
On Android, Location Services can also turn off by itself when the phone is in certain power management or sleep modes. Additionally, users can choose to turn off or restrict Location Services for individual apps, or for the phone in general, which will stop Location Services from running until the user manually re-enables it.
How do I freeze my location on Find My Friends?
If you use the Find My Friends app, you may have noticed that the location sometimes updates more often than you’d like. To freeze your location, you will need to turn on Low Power Mode in your settings.
This setting works best when the battery of your device is at least 30% charged.
To turn on Low Power Mode, go to Settings on your device and then tap “Battery”. Scroll down to the lower third of the screen and tap the toggle switch beside Low Power Mode.
Once Low Power Mode is activated, open Find My Friends and select the person you want to share your location with. Tap on their name, then select “Stop Sharing My Location” from the bottom of the page.
Close the app, and you’ll find that your location is frozen and won’t update until you decide to share it again.
Can someone tell if I check their location on Iphone?
It is typically difficult for someone to know if you’ve checked their location on an iPhone, unless you explicitly tell them. iPhones are designed with certain privacy measures to protect the user’s location information.
For example, if you open the Find My app and locate someone else’s device, the user will not be able to see that you are accessing their location. Additionally, iOS limits third-party apps from accessing information such as location without explicit permission from the user.
That said, if you access someone’s location data in a malicious way, like using malware, they may be able to detect it using specialized tools.
How do you know if someone checked your location?
It depends on the type of device you’re using and the platform. If you’re an iPhone user, you can use the Find My Friends app to share your location with people or you can use the “Share My Location” feature.
If your friends want to check whether they have access to your location, they can access their list of contacts, tap your contact info and then tap “Share My Location”. If your location is currently visible to them, it will be indicated by a green dot next to your name.
For Android users, Google Maps also has a tracking feature where you can share your location with others. To see if someone has checked your location, you can go to your Google Maps app and tap the hamburger menu at the top right, then tap ‘Location Sharing’ and then tap ‘Manage your Shared list’.
You will be able to see a list of people who can view your location, and if someone has recently checked your location, a blue circle will appear next to their name.
Why does iPhone location say 1 hour ago?
iPhone location services use a combination of cellular, Wi-Fi and satellite technologies to determine the approximate location of your device. Depending on a variety of factors such as signal strength, network congestion and speed, the accuracy of your location could vary.
If you have recently moved to a new location, it could take some time for the phone to update its location. Additionally, some locations have weak cellular signals or no cellular service at all, meaning the phone may take a while to connect or get a signal strong enough to determine an accurate location.
In some cases, it is possible for the iPhone to report a location up to an hour old.
