Activity Sharing invitation repeatedly reverts to Awaiting Reply

Title: Activity Sharing with one person keeps reverting to “Awaiting Reply”


I’ve had an ongoing issue with Activity Sharing on Apple Watch/iPhone for several years, but only with one person - my mum.


When her sharing invitation appears, I tap Accept and I can then see her activity normally. However, after a while it seems to reset and shows “Awaiting Reply” again, with the option to Accept or Decline.


If I accept it again, her activity becomes visible again temporarily, but eventually it goes back to “Awaiting Reply” and I have to repeat the process.


Activity Sharing works normally with everyone else I share with, and the problem only seems to affect her account. This has continued across multiple years rather than being a recent issue.


Does anyone know what could cause an Activity Sharing invitation to repeatedly revert to “Awaiting Reply” after it has already been accepted, or what we could try to permanently fix it?
