Fixed an issue where activity name was not preserved when ending activity from Zwift Companion.

Do you know if this was the issue where people got the date as the ride name when saving via Companion?

Activity shows date instead of activity title! [1.43, 1.44]

Why does the activity show date instead of event title? This seems to be happening for me and some other other Zwift users after a recent update in June. I know it doesn’t occur for all Zwifters since in group rides other riders’ activities on Zwift Companion or Strava, show the full title as it was…

Just tested it with an iPad running Zwift and Android phone running Companion. Also tested with a full ride using AppleTV (2022).

Yep, Companion v3.50 appears to fix that specific issue.

Yes, that’s one of the fixed issues in v 3.50. I updated that thread.

Is there any development going on with the Apple Watch app to fix the heart rate syncing issues? When the Apple Watch app connects to the iOS companion app, it’s great but it’s really hard to get them to connect together and share HR data. Sometimes it connects on the first try, other times it takes 10 minutes of trying.

As far as I know the Apple Watch app was completely dropped from support

Apple Watch displays Zwift "Unpaired" but do not want to use Apple Watch on Zwift

Maybe this?

[d_sc (Doug)]

That’s sad news.

iPhone users please note a patch for the Companion app v3.50.1 has been released.

Has anything changed re the notifications? It won’t let me select “add reminder” and “set as default” for events…
