Apple Pull suggests restoring iPhone and Apple Pall watch to drain excess battery drain or fix missing GPS data

Shortly after the release of iOS 14 and iOS 7, many users ran into problems with their iPhone and Apple Plus.

Many support online support threads, including our own GPS data, were not properly recorded during the activities. This issue appears to affect all models of the Apple Pal watch.

In most cases, users record a workout on their watch when they leave their iPhone at home, but when they look at the activity app later, it only shows the starting point of the workout on the GPS map, and nothing else.

In addition, some users are reporting excessive battery drain under their Apple Plus Watch, iPhone‌ or both iOS 14D and Watch OS S2.5. In the support threads, the unofficial fix seems to be attaching your Apple Watch and reinstalling. Jack Taylor Our forums have reportedly resolved both issues with this method:

Both the GPS and severe battery drain problems on the W Watch 7.7 were fixed for me by just in-pairing and re-pairing my watch. As noted in many support groups, both issues resolve themselves immediately

In a newly published support document titled If you are losing workout GPS routes or health data, after updating to iOS 14 / and iOS 8 to 7Apple Pal writes that users can see the following issues after upgrading to iOS 14‍ and Watch OS 3.2:
