Troubleshooting
⚠️ Sleep data not showing in Apple Health
Open the Oura app and wait for it to sync with your ring (you'll see the sync icon). Then check Apple Health. Make sure sleep analysis permissions are granted.
⚠️ HRV values differ between Oura and Apple Health
Oura reports average nighttime HRV, while Apple Health may display individual readings. The values may appear different but both are correct in their context.
⚠️ Connection keeps disconnecting
Ensure the Oura app has background app refresh enabled. Update to the latest version of the Oura app. Re-enable the Apple Health connection if needed.
