Health App Stopped Tracking Sleep Data

I have not heard anything about a fix yet. I now keep track of my sleep and manually enter it into the health app.

I don’t and won’t get a Apple Watch, just want my phone to track it like it used to.

Update - I DID have to leave an alarm set in order to continue tracking sleep data. So I have one set in the middle of the day, with no sound. Very annoying, but it works

I’ve upgraded from iPhone 8!! to iPhone 14 and really miss the sleep data. It’s very frustrating and disappointing to remove a loved feature from the iPhone with no warning. I’m not a fan of smart watches. I might research other apps that might do the same thing 🤔

Or maybe tracking sleep with the iPhone on the bed is poor quality compared to the Apple Watch on your wrist. Understood that "you" don't want to wear a watch -- sounds like "Main Character Syndrome" to me.

And Apple discussions changes the following subtopic numbering/ lettering (from how it appears in editing mode to how it shows in the published response) and makes it not be as intended, so this is a disclaimer that it’s not my editing error, for the record, even though even if it were, if it has accurate and truthful information about my personal experiences with Apple products related to this post, then it shouldn’t matter if the editing has errors in the lettering/ numbering.

But I know some people will nitpick about that and question whether that makes you intelligent or intelligible or not, when it clearly doesn’t and shouldn’t matter, IF the reader makes even the tiniest bit of effort to use the minimal reading comprehension skills necessary to understand most posts in spite of their grammatical, spelling, or compositional prowess, or the lack thereof.

B. Submissions

1. 1. 1. Stay on topic. Apple Support Communities is here to help people use Apple products and technologies more effectively. Unless otherwise noted, do not post Submissions about non-technical topics, including:
2. Speculation or rumors about unannounced products.
3. Discussion of Apple policies or procedures or Apple’s moderation of the Site.

I now can’t find the discussions terms and conditions that popped up (for me to agree to the new ones) before I could comment, or I’d link to the source so readers can see the source text if desired.

I just had to reply starting with this because a few of these comments UNDERSTANDABLY comment on policies or procedures or moderation of the site, and yet that’s apparently officially against the rules!

And for the record, I’ve been having this issue for a very long time (like 2+ years apparently) before I updated to iOS 17.X.X (have not updated to 18.X.X ) and if it’s connected to whatever’s being backed up into iCloud (or not) then that’s probably the missing link for me, because I don’t pay for extra iCloud storage, and will never, so it’s one more gimmick to try to make us pay for extra services that would basically be included if we were using any other smart phone ( lol) since the phone itself would automatically have way more storage capability.

And YET, by the way, in theory and on purpose with my last iPhone purchase, I have plenty of device storage capability that nothing should rely on my connection to iCloud storage or the lack thereof in order to work properly!

and may I say it is an innate discrimination against neurodivergent people to say that you can’t comment on anything else that may possibly actually be related to the initial post because supposedly it’s not on topic or it may or may not be primarily commenting about the policies or procedures or what not of Apple.

I get so tired of there’s a freedom of speech unless it’s what someone else doesn’t agree with or doesn’t want to hear… Even if it’s a valid and truthful observation or personal experience.

Same issue , since the update it has stopped. The whole month of October has had no data. Any fix yet?

@SONAR3

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but it didn't work. A call to Apple Support finally solved it. It involved unpairing the watch and re-pairing it.

I have tried the above oh so many times, to no avail…then I saw that this fellow has an iPhone 16. That’s most likely why. Sigh…

Please restore the deleted feature of iPhone only sleep tracking!!!! It was great

One can buy another sleep tracker watch, and use that app to track one’s sleep. I know it’s another expense, and irritating. Huawei 🤔😦 do a $50 one, and there are second hand Samsungs around for less than that

I went through this whole forum and tried Sonar's tips & a few of the others. Still got wrong sleep data until I started "talking" to my watch! I raised my wrist & said "if Apple doesn't fix my sleep tracking, I'm going to purchase the Scan Watch Nova Brilliant watch , ditch my iPhone, iMac Pro & get a Pixel phone & Lenovo laptop." I talked to my iPhone 13 too, didn't use Siri. Low & behold it started correct sleep tracking, but the days it didn't track correctly never got corrected. Strange & weird, but I'm happy with Apple for now.

I have a slightly different problem. My watch and phone track my sleep but the time in bed number is way too low

each night ie. last night I went to bed at about 10:15 and got up at 8:05 AM which is 9 hrs50 min. My phone said

I was in bed 6 hr 41 min.

Granted I was up twice during the night for bathroom breaks but no more than 5 minutes total.

Time in bed has consistently been under reported since some time in Nov. I have an apple watch 4 and an

Iphone 13 mini.

It’s not an issue requiring repair.

It’s a choice made by Apple & therefore not to be fixed.

if you don’t have an Apple Watch - as I don’t - then the sleep app will not be available to you anymore.

It happened all of a sudden and can’t figure it out
