I recently had to "reset all settings" on my iPhone due to an audio glitch...

But now, I can't find the Workout app under the Location Services tab in Privacy... Watch Faces is there, but... Workout? Nothing...

I want to turn off the GPS in the app because I don't need it and don't need it draining battery while I run...

WTH!? How do I fix this??

Did you try with unpair and pair your watch again?
No, I tried resetting both devices... I'm updating my watch as I type... see if that fixes it.. if not I guess I'll try unpairing and repairing... it doesn't risk any data loss, right? calibration data? I'd really rather... not lose that..

maybe resetting the settings will fix it...

You can try with reset first and you'll see if it's back. If not, just unpair and pair again, you will not lost any data.

It didn't work, apparently resetting the setting repairs the apple watch by itself, but it didn't work. The option appears in the Apple Watch itself, set to "ask" (something it doesn't do)

and it's all grayed out, as are all the other options in the APple Watch

in the iPhone, again, it's just Apple Watch Faces that appears...

dammit Apple... so many useless updates that just mess things up... I'm already calling them see if anything can be done... I doubt it.

I'm checking my workouts these past few weeks, apparenty it hasn't been tracking my GPS at all... GREAT... Now how am I supposed to calibrate it? 🙄

My Apple Watch just losing a part of it's functionality? if this isn't fixed, I will expect a replacement...
