Sadly I learned through Communities, that the reason you cannot download the fitness+ app is because you don’t have an Apple Watch attached to your phone. Apparently, it is a requirement.

The Apple phone support agent I spoke with had no knowledge of this and wasted (literally) hours of my time trying to troubleshoot a problem that had a simple answer.


im surprised no one else responded to your post. It’s hard to believe that you and I are the only ones with this question. I hope I’ve answered it for you.
