Wayfarer Support
Help with steps, scenic walks, weather, Stats, and your local Wayfarer data.
Steps are missing
Open Wayfarer while your iPhone is unlocked, then use its refresh control. Review Wayfarer’s Health permissions in iOS Settings and confirm Step Count and Walking + Running Distance access is enabled. Wayfarer reads these types but does not write to Apple Health. Apple protects Health data while the phone is locked, so background updates can arrive later.
Weather is unavailable
Local weather is optional and provided through Apple Weather using WeatherKit. Check that Wayfarer has When In Use location permission and that the device is online, then try again from Today. Weather conditions around you—not conditions on the featured walk—help select the artwork variation. Wayfarer 1.4 build 67 does not display AQI or provide a walking recommendation. If weather cannot update, your steps, scenic content, and saved walking history remain available.
Scenic walks and facts
The scenic-walk catalogue, artwork, facts, and source information are included with Wayfarer, so they need no content download or developer server. Open Settings and find Scenic Walks & Facts to view the source links for each featured walk. For the scenic content itself, an internet connection is needed only if you choose to open one of those websites.
Wayfarer has no account, developer analytics, advertising, or tracking.
Changing distance units
Open Wayfarer’s Settings tab and choose Automatic, Kilometres, or Miles.
Resetting local data
Deleting Wayfarer removes its locally stored preferences, cached history, and journey progress. It does not remove your source data from Apple Health.
