Numbers look late

Your devices sync to Apple Health on their own schedule. Here's how to nudge them.

Soma shows what's in Apple Health. If a reading hasn't reached Health yet, Soma can't see it.

Apple Watch

Open the Health app on your iPhone with your watch nearby and unlocked. It usually catches up within a few minutes.

Rings, bands, scales and sleep pads

Most brands write to Health only when their own app syncs. Open the device's app (Oura, Whoop, Garmin Connect, Withings, Eight Sleep and so on), wait for it to finish syncing, then come back to Soma.

Then

Pull down on Today to refresh. You can also open Settings, then Data and diagnostics, and tap Read Apple Health again. If Soma was open in the background, close it and open it again.

Still behind?

  • Check that Background App Refresh is on for Soma and for the device's app, in Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
  • Low Power Mode slows background syncing. Turn it off for a while.
