How to get started with Pokémon Go on Apple Watch
Before you can really start using Pokémon Go on Apple Watch you need to give it permission to run in the background, so it can count your activity, and access various HealthKit data, so it can contribute to your workouts.
These should pop up on their own but if they don't:
- Launch Settings from your iPhone Home screen.
- Tap on Privacy.
- Tap on Health.
- Tap on Pokemon Go.
- Tap the switches to enable each category. Turn them all on. (You should read through them carefully first, of course.)
You can also do this through the Health app directly, from the Sources tab.
