Find answers to frequently asked questions about Apple Watch
## Apple Watch Related
### Can my iPhone/Apple Watch be used?
The watch app supports Apple Watch Series 4 (i.e., supports watchOS 9) and later models, but some functions (such as custom HRV complications) require models supporting watchOS 10 and later.
The phone app supports iPhone 8 (i.e., supports iOS 16) and later models.
### What if Apple Watch data is not syncing with the phone? What if watch face complication data is not refreshing?
Apple Watch data synchronization is mainly done through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so there is a certain delay in data transmission (about 1-3 minutes). Please check that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on for your watch and phone, and that no modes affecting Wi-Fi functions (like low power mode) are enabled.
Due to Apple's limitations, Apple Watch complications refresh automatically at best every 15 minutes, but 100% success is not guaranteed. You can manually tap the complication to enter the OtterLife App to manually refresh the data.
### What if "OtterLife" cannot be found in "Complications" when adding watch face components, or if the widget on the watch suddenly turns black? What if the calorie deficit, HRV, or body energy expenditure widgets disappear? What if the middle part does not display?
1. The most common situation is that the Apple Watch app is updating; just wait for the automatic update to finish. If it remains black, please go to "Watch" - "My Watch" and scroll to the bottom to check the installation status of "OtterLife", or go to the App Store on the watch, scroll to the bottom to find Account - Purchased, find "OtterLife" and tap to download.
2. If the "Watch" app on the phone shows empty, it might be an Apple bug, and it's not necessarily empty on the watch.
3. Please check the app list on the watch to see if "OtterLife" is installed. You can check the installation status at the bottom of "Watch" - "My Watch".
4. If you have successfully installed it on the watch, you can long-press the watch face - "Edit" - swipe left to switch to "Complications", find "OtterLife" and add it.
5. If "OtterLife" cannot be found in "Complications" on the watch, open "Watch" on the phone, find OtterLife - "Do Not Show on Apple Watch" - scroll to the bottom of "Watch" to find OtterLife and reinstall it.
### What if it says "Complication not available" when adding watch face components on the phone?
1. This issue is mainly an Apple Watch bug, usually appearing when the app updates.
2. Check if OtterLife is successfully installed on the Apple Watch. If it is, you can long-press the watch face - "Edit" - swipe left to switch to "Complications", find "OtterLife" and add it.
3. If "OtterLife" cannot be found in "Complications" on the watch, open "Watch" on the phone, find OtterLife - "Do Not Show on Apple Watch" - scroll to the bottom of "Watch" to find OtterLife and reinstall it.
### What if the App installation fails or is stuck on installing on the watch?
1. First, go to "Watch" - "My Watch" and scroll to the bottom to check the installation status of "OtterLife".
2. Go to the App Store on the watch, scroll to the bottom to find Account - Purchased, find "OtterLife" and tap to download.
3. Check if the phone and watch are connected to the same Wi-Fi? —> Disconnect and reconnect the watch Wi-Fi, turn on and off airplane mode.
4. Is the Bluetooth connection normal? —> Disconnect and reconnect the watch Bluetooth.
5. If the phone is using mobile data —> Check if there is a pop-up on the watch confirming the download.
6. Are multiple Apps downloading at the same time? —> Stop all, then download one by one.
7. If none of the above works, try long-pressing the digital crown to restart the watch. If it still cannot be solved, please contact customer service for feedback.
### What if the watch widget shows "No Data" or cannot update normally?
1. Please check if the watch was just unlocked; data cannot be updated in the locked state.
2. If there is no data right after downloading the app: Check if the corresponding permissions are authorized? Please go to "Settings" - "Health" - "Apps and Services" - "OtterLife" on the watch, and select "Turn On All".
3. If there was data before: 1. Check if the current app version is the latest; older versions might have issues that have been fixed. 2. When you wear your Apple Watch normally, your HRV data is automatically updated every 2-5 hours. Please understand that data updates and push notifications may be delayed due to Apple's system reasons. You can also open the "Mindfulness" App on the watch, select the "Breathe" function and complete a session to update the latest data.
4. If none of the above works, please contact customer service at [otterlife@iftech.io](mailto:otterlife@iftech.io) for feedback.
### Why can't I change the custom watch face? Why is there no change on the watch after changing the watch face theme? Theme setting failed.
1. Currently, theme replacement is only supported on Apple Watch; it is not supported on Huawei or other series watches.
2. Currently, only the "HRV" widget customization is supported; customization of "Calorie Deficit" and "Body Energy" widgets is not supported.
3. There are currently 2 HRV widgets; please add the "Custom HRV" widget instead of "HRV Index".
4. Check if the Apple Watch version is watchOS 10 or later? And is the OtterLife app successfully installed on the Apple Watch? The widget can only be added after successful installation.
5. When syncing custom themes, you need to keep the "OtterLife" app open on the Apple Watch and the screen on. This requires both the watch and phone Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to be on and connected to the same Bluetooth, avoiding modes like low power mode that might affect network synchronization.
6. If the above still doesn't solve it, reinstall the OtterLife app on the Apple Watch; it might be caused by the phone app being upgraded but the watch app not yet upgraded.
### What is the Body Energy Expenditure watch face?
1. Body Energy Expenditure is an estimate of the energy used to complete a task. It is a metric for measuring the energy intensity of exercise and other daily activities, measured in METs (kcal/(kg\*h)).
2. Because everyone's metabolism is different, Body Energy Expenditure can be used as a metric to measure the intensity of the activity itself.
3. For example: Walking (about 3 km/h) as a 2 METs activity requires twice the energy of resting.
4. When your activity intensity increases, your metabolic rate also increases, so you will start to lose weight.
5. The watch face updates every 20 minutes. Here is the correspondence between the watch face text and Body Energy Expenditure:
* Not losing weight: MET ≤ 4
* Losing weight: 4 MET \< MET ≤ 5
* Losing weight fast: MET > 5
* No data: Unauthorized or no data for more than 24 hours
### Real-time monitoring is turned on, but the HRV data on the watch face is not updating.
There are several reasons:
1. If the watch face has no data, but the watch/phone app also has no data: This is because there is no heart rate data during this period, so real-time stress cannot be generated. This is caused by the lack of data from the Apple data source. You can check Apple Health - Heart Rate - Data Details for comparison.
2. If the watch face has no data, but the watch/phone app has data: This is due to the Apple Watch watch face widget refresh limitation. Apple watch faces support refreshing at best every 15 minutes, but whether the refresh is successful is controlled by Apple, and it is not guaranteed to refresh every 15 minutes.
3. Under normal circumstances, when there is heart rate data, the data in the app updates every 6 minutes, and the watch face data updates every 15 minutes.
### Why is there no Apple Watch sleep data recorded?
First, ensure that the Apple Watch sleep monitoring function is turned on, and you have worn the Watch to sleep for more than 7 days, so that the Apple Watch can learn your sleep habits and generate more accurate sleep data. If you want more accurate sleep monitoring, please set a sleep schedule and sleep goal. In addition, if each sleep time is less than 4 hours, sleep data cannot be generated.

# OtterLife FAQ
Find answers to common questions below. If you cannot find what you need, please contact our support team: [otterlife@iftech.io](mailto:otterlife@iftech.io)
## Is my phone/watch compatible?
### If you have an iOS device, we support:
**1. Apple Watch (Fully Compatible)**
* Watch app (supports Apple Watch Series 4 and later models that support WatchOS 9)
* Phone app (supports iPhone 8 and later models that support iOS 16)
**2. Huawei, Xiaomi, or other smart devices**
* Watch app - Not supported
* Phone app (If your smart device can write data to Apple Health, OtterLife can read it. However, these devices can only write limited data to Apple Health)
### If you have an Android device, we support:
**1. Any Huawei smart device**
* Watch app (supports Fit 3, Fit 4)
* Phone app (Select **Huawei Health authorization** as your data source)
**2. Xiaomi Band 4-7 (Other Xiaomi devices are not supported, including 7 Pro)**
* Watch/Band app - Not supported
* Phone app (Select **Xiaomi Health or Zepp Life** as your data source. For details, see OtterLife Xiaomi Band Connection Guide)
**3. Other smart devices or phone only**
* Watch app - Not supported
* Phone app (Select **Phone Tracking** as your data source) There are currently no plans to integrate other health platforms on Android (Garmin, Redmi, Honor, etc.)
### If you have a HarmonyOS NEXT device:
We are currently learning and developing support. Stay tuned!
## Are memberships and data shared between Android and iOS?
Currently, they are not shared because:
1. The data collection methods and available features differ between Android and iOS
2. We do not store your health data in the cloud. Current data is read directly from various health apps, so health data migration is not supported.
3. This may be supported in the future
## Some data not showing on iOS
### Reason 1: Your wearable device may not support that data
* If you are an Apple Watch user: Different Apple Watch models can collect different data. For example, Apple Watch SE cannot record blood oxygen or wrist temperature, which may result in some data being empty in the app.
* If you use other wearable devices: OtterLife can only read data stored in Apple Health. If the health app connected to your device does not support measuring or writing certain data, some data (such as HRV) may be empty in the app.
### Reason 2: Wearable device data has not been updated
OtterLife relies on health data uploaded from fitness wearables like Apple Watch. If you are not wearing your watch or band during activities like exercise or sleep, we cannot access your health data.
* HRV data: When you normally wear your Apple Watch, HRV data is automatically updated every 2-5 hours. There may be delays in data updates and notifications due to Apple's system.
* You can also open the "Mindfulness" app on your watch, select the "Breathe" feature, and complete one session to update your latest data.
* Other data: Due to Apple Watch limitations, there is a certain interval between each data sync. If data does not update immediately, please try again later.
* If you are using other wearable devices, data may not have synced in time. Open the corresponding health app to sync.
### Reason 3: Apple Health data permissions not authorized
* If you are using other health apps to track your body data but OtterLife has no data, the most likely reason is that data is not being shared with Apple Health.
* OtterLife relies on Apple Health authorization to ensure accurate and timely data updates, and to provide statistics and reminders. Not enabling all permissions will affect your ability to experience the full features of the product.
Follow the tutorial below: Go to iOS Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Health -> OtterLife and tap "Turn All On" to authorize the relevant permissions and ensure OtterLife works properly.
## Android + Huawei device data sync issues
1. OtterLife fetches data from Huawei Cloud, so the issue may be caused by your Huawei device not completing cloud sync. This is different from how Huawei Health obtains data. Please be patient and see if the data recovers on its own.
2. Verify that the Huawei Health account logged into Huawei Health and OtterLife is the same.

## Data Related Questions
### HRV
#### What is HRV?
HRV, also known as Heart Rate Variability, measures the tiny differences in your heart rate between each beat. HRV can reflect your body's ability to handle stress, fatigue, or illness.
#### Is HRV scientifically valid?
When the body encounters stress, it primarily responds through the autonomic nervous system. Under stress, the sympathetic nervous system becomes more active, speeding up the heart and reducing the interval between beats, which decreases HRV. In relaxed or recovery states, the parasympathetic nervous system is more active, slowing the heart and lengthening the interval between beats, which increases HRV.
#### What makes for better HRV?
Everyone's HRV readings are unique, influenced by many factors including age and gender. Therefore, compared to a single high or low HRV reading, stable HRV data over time can more accurately reflect an individual's health status. So don't be anxious about occasional low HRV readings!
#### Understanding HRV more intuitively!
Stable HRV data can more accurately reflect your health status, so we calculate your 30-day HRV average and tell you what state your body is in: When HRV is much higher than average: Something good happened. When HRV is in the normal range: Full of energy. When HRV is much lower than average: Under pressure.
#### Why is my HRV data different from Apple Health?
Because Apple Health uses the SDNN algorithm, while we use the rMSSD algorithm. Simply put, SDNN evaluates long-term heart rate variability, while rMSSD focuses more on short-term heart rate variability, making it more suitable for observing daily HRV changes.
#### How often is data updated?
When you normally wear your Apple Watch, your HRV data is automatically updated every 2-5 hours. There may be delays in data updates and notifications due to Apple's system. Thank you for your understanding. You can also open the "Mindfulness" app on your watch, select the "Breathe" feature, and complete one session to update your latest data.
#### Can it update in real-time?
You can switch the data mode to "Real-time Stress" to update data every 6 minutes.
## Sleep
### Why is my Apple Watch sleep data not being recorded?
#### Enable sleep tracking
First, make sure your Apple Watch has sleep tracking enabled and you have worn the Watch to sleep for at least 7 days, so Apple Watch can learn your sleep habits and generate more accurate sleep data. For more accurate sleep tracking, set a sleep schedule and sleep goal. Additionally, if each sleep session is less than 4 hours, sleep data cannot be generated.
Set Sleep Schedule
Open the "Watch" app on your phone, select "Sleep" -> "Manage Sleep Focus Mode in Settings" -> Set "Sleep Schedule". If you don't turn off sleep mode after waking up, sleep will be recorded until the end of sleep mode.
### Why can my phone no longer record sleep?
After the iOS 18 update, it is no longer possible to record sleep duration using the phone.
### Does it support reading sleep data from other apps?
Go to the sleep detail page, tap settings in the upper right corner, and select a sleep source to switch the data source. Select "Smart Selection" to prioritize displaying data sources with sleep stages (Apple Watch preferred).
### Is sleep duration incorrect?
Check if you have modified the sleep statistics divider time. The app uses this time to separate sleep statistics. It is recommended to set it to any time between the latest end time of **naps** and the earliest start time of **nighttime sleep**.
### How to record naps
After updating to watchOS 11, if you have enabled sleep tracking, wearing your Apple Watch will automatically record naps without any extra steps. **Naps under 30 minutes** are unlikely to be detected by the watch. **Naps over 30 minutes** may be recorded, but the recorded data will not include sleep stages (such as deep sleep or light sleep). The longer you sleep, the more likely it will be recorded. **Sleep of 2 hours or more** - Only sleep sessions over 2 hours may record sleep stage information.
## Menstrual Cycle
### How to view wrist temperature data
1. Only Apple Watch S8, 9, 10, Ultra, and Ultra 2 models are supported
2. Turn on "Track Sleep with Apple Watch" to set up "Sleep".
3. To establish a temperature baseline, make sure Sleep Focus mode is on, then wear your Apple Watch during sleep.
4. You must track sleep for at least four hours each night to collect wrist temperature data from Apple Watch. Wrist temperature data will be available after approximately five nights.
*Note:* Your body temperature naturally fluctuates and may vary each night due to various factors. Wrist temperature may also be affected by external factors such as sleep environment.
## Fitness and Exercise Tracking
1. If there are no recent exercise records, the Fitness module in the navigation bar will be hidden
2. iOS only supports exercises recorded from Apple Watch; exercises from other devices are not supported
3. Huawei only supports exercises recorded from Huawei watches/bands; exercises from phone courses are not supported
4. Xiaomi and phone sources do not support exercise recording
## Will features like weight trends and sun exposure time be added in the future?
Development is planned

# OPPO Health FAQ
Source: https://docs.otterlife.app/en/faq/oppowatch
## About OPPO Health
The OtterLife mobile app currently supports syncing data from OPPO Health. OPPO smart watches and light smart watches support syncing data through the OtterLife mobile app. Bands and other smart devices are not supported yet.
## Authorization Guide
1. Tap Go to authorize, sign in to your OPPO Health account, and select Allow all when granting health permissions
2. Open the OPPO Health app, go to Me - Health Cloud, and turn on Health Cloud Sync
## How do I sync phone data?
【Important】OPPO Health must keep running in the background on your phone. Otherwise, data sync cannot be completed
1. Automatic sync: automatic sync is triggered every time you open the app
2. Manual sync: if automatic sync does not update your data, tap the manual sync button below
## How do I sync watch data?
【Important】OPPO Health must keep running in the background on your phone. Otherwise, data sync cannot be completed
1. Keep Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled on both your phone and watch
2. Open the OtterLife app on your watch, then open the OtterLife app on your phone to complete syncing
## How do I install the watch app?
1. Open OPPO Health - Devices and make sure your OPPO Watch is already paired with your phone
2. Go to OPPO Health - Devices - App Store, search for OtterLife, and install it
3. Open the OtterLife app on your OPPO Watch and grant the relevant health data permissions
## Why are there no watch widgets or watch faces?
The official development permissions for this feature have not yet been opened to developers, so we cannot develop it at this time. If the brand opens authorization, we will integrate it as soon as possible.
## Why did my phone data fail to sync?
Phone data needs to be synced from OPPO Health, so there may be some delay.
## Why is the data different between my watch and phone?
Open the OtterLife app on your watch, then open the OtterLife app on your phone to complete syncing.
## Is my watch a smart watch or a light smart watch?
The S series is a light smart watch series, and the X series is a smart watch series.
# Why isn't my device supported?
Source: https://docs.otterlife.app/en/faq/otherdevice
We're sorry, but we don't currently support direct integration with smart watches or fitness bands from brands such as Xiaomi, vivo, or Redmi.
This means that even if you can see steps, sleep, heart rate, and other data in the brand's official app, those data will not automatically sync to this app.
## Why can't they be integrated?
These brands currently do not open up health data read permissions to third-party apps.
This is a product strategy decision by the brands and is unlikely to change in the short term.
However, this is not a problem with your device, nor an error on your part.
If these brands change their strategy and open up their APIs in the future, we'll add support as soon as possible.
## Can I still use the app without device data?
Yes.
Most features of the app don't rely on smart watches or fitness bands and can still be used as normal, for example:
* Calorie tracking
* Weight management
* Water intake records
* Period tracking
* Habit building
* Daily health management for diet, exercise, and more
For basic activity data such as steps, you can also choose to record via your phone's sensors.
## What if I still want to track steps?
You can select "Track via phone sensors" in the data source settings.
Once enabled, the app will try to record basic health data such as steps using your phone's built-in sensors.
Please note:
* The data recorded here comes from your phone, not from your fitness band or smart watch;
* So even if you're wearing a Xiaomi band, Redmi band, or similar device, the data shown in the app will differ from what's shown in the official app. They are two independent data sources.
## Why might step counts not match?
This is completely normal.
Typically, steps recorded by a phone are 20%–40% lower than those from a wearable device.
Common reasons include:
* The phone isn't carried with you at all times
* The app hasn't been granted permissions related to motion, fitness, or physical activity
* The phone's system limits background activity or sensor access
* Sensor algorithms differ between phone brands
* Phones and wearables count steps in different ways
For these reasons, data recorded via phone sensors is for general reference only and shouldn't be used as a strict basis for health or medical decisions.
## We're continuing to work on this
We fully understand the desire to "see all your data in one app."
We'll keep tracking the API openness progress of each brand and let you know as soon as new integrations are available.
Thanks for your understanding 🙌
# Payment and Membership Issues
Source: https://docs.otterlife.app/en/faq/paymentissue
## If I am currently a member, can I still use my membership after changing phones?
iOS users: membership purchases are tied to your Apple ID. After changing phones, use the same ID and tap Restore Purchase in the top-right corner of the purchase page to restore your membership status.
Android users in China: membership purchases are tied to your WeChat account. After changing phones, sign in with the same WeChat account.
Google Play users: membership purchases are tied to your Google Play account. After changing phones, open the Google Play Store app on your Android device, tap the menu button in the top-left corner or your profile icon, then select Subscriptions. Find the item you want to restore, then tap Restore or Continue.
## Why did restore purchase fail?
This usually happens because different App Store IDs or Google Play IDs have been switched frequently, which can cause errors. The App Store ID or Google Play ID used for Restore Purchase must be the same ID used for the original payment. To fix this, uninstall OtterLife, then download and sign in again with the App Store ID or Google Play ID used for the original payment.
## Do I need to purchase membership again after switching from Android to iPhone, or from iPhone to Android?
Go to Settings - About You, copy both your old and new user IDs from the top-right corner, and send them to [otterlife@iftech.io](mailto:otterlife@iftech.io).
## How many devices can one membership account sign in on?
One OtterLife account can only be signed in on one device at a time. After you sign in on a new device, the account on the old device will be automatically signed out.
## What should I do if payment fails?
Try switching networks and trying again, such as switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data. You can also go to Settings - About You, sign out, and then sign in again.
