Blood Oxygen Not Available in 14.2 Beta

[5H3PH3RD]

Anyone else that just got the 6 not able to find blood oxygen despite being in a country that supports it?

the app is on the watch, tells me to open the Apple Watch app and nothing happens and the metric isn’t even available in the health app, per Apples support article.

Same here...just keeping asking me to open the apple watch app on the phone. Are you on the dev beta? I was on
14.2...wonder if that matters?

NM, delete. It's WatchOS 7.1 Bea it's not available on (I'd replied it was on iOS 14.2).

I am on 14.2 and just picked up the watch on 7.0

I’m on 14.2 but 7.0 on watch not family setup.

Try downgrading to 14.0. Can`t hurt

Anyone else in 14 first, before I do that. Haven’t seen anyone confirm it works yet. Apple also doesn’t align with the UI on the watch. They state it’s in the health app.

Not working for me on 14.2 with either watch 7 or beta 7.1 - United States

It won’t fix your problem. But you have to connect to a computer and download the relevant file for iOS 14.

In fact, I will retract that statement. Blood oxygen shows for me in 14 not 14.2

I’m in the US and on 14.2 beta, watchOS 7.0 and it’s not there. I googled blood oxygen and everything online says the option should be there.

It’s not easy. Backup to iCloud or a machine. Find the ipsw and reinstall the whole phone then restore from backup.

I've been able to do it a few times already. Started the app, and hit the start button.

Can I restore a 14.2 backup on a 14.0 phone?

Yes, because you are on 14. We are on 14.2.

Mine works fine.

You are on 14, we are on 14.2.

Downgrade to 14.0 did the trick!
