Fitness App Not In Fitness & Motion

Settings>privacy & security>motion & fitness>only health and dasher app listed as accessing my motion. I use iPhone 12 iOS 16.3.1


I’ve uninstalled fitness, reinstalled, restarted…multiple times with every possible combination of having motion turned off before and after restart, uninstall, restart, then reinstall, etc. meanwhile….the health app seems to track things just fine!? Any help is much appreciated!

Right…..but that’s not exactly my issue. Lemme clarify. The motion tracking on my phone is working fine (I know this because I can see motion statistics in the health app….but nothing in the fitness app.

Hello JDub_406,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


We are happy to help you with motion detection for the Fitness+ app.


What you are seeing in Settings is expected behavior. As long as you have toggled on Fitness tracking, your iPhone will track your movement. According to your screenshot, you have this toggled on. Here’s additional information on tracking your daily activity: Intro to Fitness on iPhone - Apple Support

"Track your daily activity

With Fitness on iPhone, view your active calories and steps, set a move goal, track your progress, and see your movement trends over time—even if you don’t yet have an Apple Watch."


Here’s more on tracking your progress: Track daily activity in Fitness on iPhone - Apple Support

"Check your progress

Open the Fitness app at any time to see how you’re doing.

When you carry your iPhone with you, motion sensors track your steps, distance, and flights climbed to estimate active calories burned. Any workouts you complete in compatible third-party apps also contribute to the progress shown on your Move ring.

Note: You can add a Fitness widget that lets you track your daily activity directly from your Home Screen or Lock Screen. See Add widgets on iPhone and Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen.

An overlapping ring means you exceeded your goal. Tap the Activity area to see a summary, including total steps, your workouts, and more."

Take care.
