activity rings on Lock Screen

Loving iOS 16 and watchOS 9. I just don’t know why my activity rings won’t show the numbers while phone is locked? It only will when I swipe down when unlocked.

Probably because Apple considers it health data, and thus, sensitive information. Same thing while the watch is locked (eg. charging). I personally think it's stupid, but haven't been bothered enough to fill out a feedback form.

I mean, the screen shots show it as numbers, but then maybe it's cause the phone's already unlocked.

In settings-> face-id there is a setting if your widgets can access data without unlocking (don’t have my phone set to english so can’t tell exact naming)

@Soepie I don’t see that option. Are you sure?

This is my screen but as I said it is in Dutch.
it is almost at the bottom

@Soepie I see now. I have that option on in my settings too.

Ok. I am sorry, my bad.
my phone unlocks so quick I didn’t even notice.

if I really turn the camera away I see what you mean. It’s just dashes.
I guess it is what @zecanard says, it is considered private information which needs your phone unlocked.

I really don't know. What's the point of having it there then if it won't show numbers lol.

Mine will show immediately upon unlocking with FaceID. Swiping not required.

@xraydoc right, yes. I want it to also show the numbers while not unlocked. It won't.
