Garmin Connect Glitch Disconnects Wearables

Garmin Connect users, particularly those on iOS, are experiencing significant disruptions due to recent software updates, versions 5.21 and 5.21.1. Many report their wearables and smartwatches have been unexpectedly disconnected from the app, preventing progress synchronization.

Frustrated users have taken to social media platforms like Reddit to voice their concerns. The issue appears to be isolated to iOS devices, as Android users have not reported similar problems. This suggests a compatibility issue between the updated Garmin Connect app and certain iOS functionalities.

While some users have proposed troubleshooting steps, such as removing and re-adding devices in both the app and Bluetooth settings, or using the watch's connectivity menu, these solutions are not universally effective. The problem affects a variety of Garmin devices, and a definitive fix may require a patch from Garmin.
