Hi! I understand you’re having trouble accessing the free walk in WalkFit because it’s asking for motion and fitness permission, but the app doesn’t appear under the Motion & Fitness permissions settings on your iPhone. Let’s try to get that sorted out together.

Sometimes, an app will only show up under Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness after it has requested access during use. If WalkFit hasn’t prompted this yet, it won’t be listed there. Here’s what I recommend:

1. Open WalkFit and trigger the permission request:
- Restart the WalkFit app (close it fully and reopen).
- Try to start the free walk or any activity inside the app that requires motion data. Usually, this will prompt the request to allow Motion & Fitness access.

2. Check Settings again:
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness.
- See if WalkFit now appears in the list with an option to toggle permission on. If yes, turn it on.

3. If WalkFit still does not appear:
- Ensure that Fitness Tracking is enabled globally:
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness and verify the Fitness Tracking toggle at the top is on. If it's off, apps can't access motion data at all.
- Restart your iPhone after enabling this.

4. Reinstall WalkFit:
- Sometimes reinstalling the app can reset permission prompts.
- Delete WalkFit from your iPhone.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Download WalkFit again from the App Store and launch it.
- Try starting the free walk activity to prompt the permission request again.

5. Update your iPhone:
- You mentioned iOS 18.6, so check for any minor updates available under Settings > General > Software Update just in case.

If after all this, the permission still doesn't show up and the app keeps telling you to allow it, it might be a bug or an account sync issue with WalkFit. In that case, you might want to contact WalkFit support directly at [email protected] for further assistance.

Would you be able to try these steps and let me know if the app prompts the Motion & Fitness permission or if WalkFit appears in the settings afterward? I’m here to help!

Thank you. That worked
