Blood Oxygen Not Available in 14.2 Beta

[sniffies]

Also, the Artist watch face option doesn't show up on iPhone running iOS 14.2. Only available through Apple Watch directly.

I'm not gonna bother downgrading just for Blood Oxygen. I just hope it will appear in beta 2, and that we won't have to wait for official release of iOS 14.2.

OP,

Amend your thread title to state that it is because of beta. A lot of new or potential new watch owners don’t need to be unnecessarily panicked due to seeing your thread title.

On the brighter side, I'm happy to have the Shazam CC toggle and the new media controls early. They are awesome.

Thought I was crazy but it looks like it’s not on 14.2. Guess I’ll wait to try it out.

This was noted in their release note. You will need wait for the next beta to reinstate the feature. It's better to read the release note before jumping into each beta if you rely on a certain feature.

Can a 14.2 backup be restored on a 14.0.1 iPhone? Thanks

I'd be surprised if we don't see a more up to date beta this week.

Blood oxygen and new watch faces are available in Beta 2 just released.

Still unable to download the Blood Oxygen app via the app store w/ the beta.

I installed it but still can't find the Blood Oxygen App. In the App store it does not show a download sign. Is your Blood oxygen app working?

Me too. I installed the update immediately hoping for the Blood Oxygen app. Oh well, I can wait for the next update!

I am going to try repairing. Bit of a pain, but.... it IS a beta

 

[rKunda]

Same here, updated AW to 7.1.2 and blood oxygen doesn’t even show on my AW.

 

[rKunda]

Yeah. Option to DL is grayed out. That’s betas. Unexpected for the newest flagship feature though, LOL.

No.

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.

Works fine on my watch

 

[Cordell Bailey]

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

yes.

Not sure how you can be on 14.2 Latest iOS 14.0.1 and Watch OS 7.0.1

 

[upnorth85]

14.2 beta 2.

 

[Snowracer]

Has anyone tried to push the oxygen app into the phone thru iTunes on the Mac?

It’s called developer beta....

The above question was directed to you all because that was the recommendation from my local Verizon rep. I now realize that it wasn’t the greatest suggestion. I spent 2 hours on Saturday with the folks at Apple, downgraded the OS to 14.0.1 and now THE blood oxygen function works. I couldn’t repeat all the steps we took, but I’m glad I did it with them. It required connecting the phone to my Mac, backing it up to the cloud, and restoring the phone to a date prior to the installation of the beta software. Then reconnecting the watch to the phone. That’s a process I don’t wish to go through again and feel lucky I didn’t lose anything.
