Ultra 2 Blood Oxygen Vitals

I’m sure like many of you I downloaded the iOS and watchOS updates yesterday to reenable blood oxygen readings.

This morning when I woke up, I noticed the Vitals section of Apple Health was still missing the blood oxygen readings. I assumed the Vitals app on Apple Watch would still be impacted, but I was really hoping in the iPhone Vitals section the data would be displayed.

Yup, not in the vitals app/section, been discussed quite a bit in the .1 upgrade story on the front page yesterday

The results are in the respiratory section of health.

I know, see my first post. I’m not referring to that.

As I said, others have the same observation as you.
I am guessing that the Health app pulls the vitals data from a dataset that the Vitals app on the watch generates. Since SpO2 data/value is not generated on the watch but on the phone, it's empty and thus not displayed in the vitals section in the phone. Maybe there is an update to this coming in watchOS 26...

Same here. I was hoping some savvy MR readers would find out whether this is going to be added someday soon, or how to activate it. It would be great to have that missing data point each morning again!

EDIT to add: now I notice in the Health app that the Blood Oxygen readings display info for the last few days, even though I haven’t manually done a reading since Friday. so that’s good…. still the data is missing from the Vitals screen. eh. well at least it’s progress, maybe another update or two in the future will fix that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It would have been so much easier if Apple had just paid for the license for the technology they ripped off, but that’s not the way bullies work.

bah, i just noticed this issue. about to not have any older watches which predate the patent dispute. i hope they fix this in os26 as i want to keep using my aw10 for sleep tracking.

Has anyone found a fix to this yet? I reached out to apple support and all they did was run a diagnostics which found nothing wrong and told me I needed to go int the store which isnt possible right now.

Phone and watch are both on 26 and still no improvement!

There is no fix until Apple re-enables it in the firmware.
