Troubleshooting common issues

Fixes for GPS, background tracking, sync, login, and notification problems.

GPS and tracking

  • Distance frozen or jumpy? Grant “Always” location, disable battery optimization for Runapt, and wait for a strong signal before starting.
  • Tracking stops with the screen off? Allow background location and turn off aggressive battery savers.
  • Live Activity not showing on lock screen? Go to iOS Settings → Runapt and ensure Live Activities is enabled.
  • Pace looks wrong indoors? GPS needs open sky. Use a treadmill entry or a connected watch instead.

Sync and uploads

  • Run missing? Check the pending uploads list and retry. Runs recorded offline will upload when you reconnect.
  • Apple Watch workout not syncing? In iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Runapt, make sure write permissions for Workouts are enabled.
  • Duplicate runs? Runapt de-duplicates matching workouts; give sync a minute to reconcile sources.
  • Health data not showing? Re-grant health permissions in your phone’s settings and reconnect in Runapt.

Login and notifications

  • Can’t log in? If you registered with email, confirm you tapped the verification link. Login is blocked until your email is verified.
  • Lost your 2FA device? Use a saved backup code, then regenerate codes from 2FA settings.
  • No notifications? Enable them in both Runapt and your phone’s system settings, and check quiet hours.

Frequently asked

My run didn’t upload: is it lost?
No. Runs are stored on-device and queued; they upload automatically when you’re back online, or you can retry from pending uploads.
I never got my verification email.
Check spam, then try resending from the login screen. Email accounts must be verified before you can sign in.
