How to Sync Weight Data Between Devices

Modified on Thu, 30 Oct at 10:57 AM

Pokii uses Apple Health as the single, secure source of truth for all weight data.
That means your weight entries automatically stay in sync across devices — as long as Apple Health is enabled and both devices are using the same iCloud account.


To make sure your weight syncs

  1. Check Pokii’s Health permissions

    • On each device, open Apple Health

    • Tap your profile picture → Apps → Pokii

    • Ensure Weight is turned ON for Read and Write

  2. Confirm Health is syncing with iCloud

    • Go to Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Save to iCloud (See All)  → Health

    • Make sure the Sync this iPhone / iPad toggle is ON

  3. Both devices must use the same Apple ID

    • Health data only syncs through iCloud when both devices are signed into the same account


Why it might not show right away

Apple Health’s iCloud sync is not real-time — it runs in the background at unpredictable intervals.
It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for new data to appear on another device, depending on iCloud server timing, battery level, network state, or if the device recently rebooted.

Even if you see a recent “Last Sync” time in Settings, that only means iCloud connected — not that all data finished syncing.


Try this if it’s stuck

If your iPhone shows the new weight but your iPad doesn’t:

  1. Open Apple Health on both devices and leave it open for a few minutes

  2. Plug both into power and keep them on Wi-Fi

  3. Make sure they’re unlocked (Health sync may pause while locked)

  4. Wait 10–15 minutes — in some cases, iCloud may take longer to finish syncing recent Health data


⚠️ Important

Pokii doesn’t directly sync your weight between devices — it reads whatever’s stored in Apple Health.
If your Health data isn’t syncing, Pokii won’t see it on the other device either. This behavior is entirely controlled by Apple’s iCloud system.
