Update to 8.5 has bugs with Motion & Fitness

My wife's iphone was updated to version 18.5. Now, the motion & fitness option has disappeared from her apps. We were trying to sign her up for Intelli Drive but the motion & fitness option (required to use the app) was not there.


I have version 18.3.2 and had no problem activating this option in Intelli Drive.


Is Apple aware of this new bug with this update?


Thanks for your help.

Motion and fitness is under Privacy & Security. The only thing within that is Health. When I go to an App that requires M & F (such as the Allstate app or Inteli Drive that uses M & F) it does not appear as an option in that app on her phone as it does on mine. See below:

Do you mean you do not see the Setting for Motion & Fitness at Settings > Privacy & Security, or the app is not listed under that setting? The Health app is one that you would usually see in that setting as well. Make sure the Fitness Tracking switch is turned on there too.

Good Job! You will only see the setting in the app after the app has asked you to allow access to Motion & Fitness. If you decline the request, then the setting will be there with the switch off and if you allow access then it will show with the switch on. Until the app asks for that permission it will not be there and it is up to the app when it will give you the prompt for permission.
