Hello! I understand your GHIN app on your Apple Watch keeps "searching," even after you've closed it on your iPhone. I’d be happy to help you get this sorted out.
To start, I’d like to clarify a couple of things: - When you say “searching,” do you mean the app shows a spinning or loading indicator on the watch? - Have you tried any steps so far like restarting either device or re-syncing the app? - Also, what model of Apple Watch do you have?
Meanwhile, here are some common fixes that often help with continuous "searching" issues between GHIN app on iPhone and Apple Watch:
1. Restart Both Devices: - Turn off your Apple Watch by pressing and holding the side button, then slide to power off. - Restart your iPhone as well. This can refresh the connection between them.
2. Force Close GHIN on Apple Watch and iPhone: - On Apple Watch: Press the side button, swipe left on the GHIN app, tap the red "X" to close. - On iPhone: Swipe up from the bottom and hold (or double-click Home button if applicable), then swipe up the GHIN app to close.
3. Reset Apple Watch Sync Data: - On your iPhone, open the Watch app. - Go to General > Reset > Reset Sync Data. This can fix sync issues that cause the app to get stuck searching.
4. Check App Permissions: - Make sure the GHIN app has permission to use location services on both iPhone and Apple Watch, as this can affect GPS-related functionality. - On iPhone: Settings > Privacy > Location Services > GHIN app > While Using the App or Always. - On Watch: Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Enable.
5. Update GHIN App and iOS: - Ensure GHIN app on iPhone is updated to latest version. - Ensure your iOS 18.5 is latest patch available. Sometimes updates fix bugs causing such issues.
6. Reinstall GHIN App: - If the above fails, try uninstalling GHIN app on both iPhone and Apple Watch, then reinstall.
If after trying these you still face the issue, it could be a deeper syncing problem or a bug with the GHIN Apple Watch app itself, which has been mentioned by other users in forums. In that case, I can guide you on contacting GHIN support directly or escalating for advanced troubleshooting.
Let me know how it goes after these steps or if you have already tried any, so I can suggest what’s next! Are you comfortable trying them?
