Activity Sharing invites fail on one Apple Account but work on a new one



Every Activity Sharing invite from my main Apple Account fails with "There was an error sending your Activity Sharing invitation. Try sending it again." It happens no matter who I invite.

I'm on an iPhone 18 Pro with an Apple Watch Series 12. I've tried these:

iMessage is on, with my phone and all my email addresses checked

Signed out of iCloud and back in

Reset Sync Data in the Watch app

Cleared all sharing friends

Restarted both devices

On a brand-new Apple Account, invites worked instantly. iCloud Passwords & Keychain also won't turn on for my main account. Apple Support escalated it, but it's still not fixed. Has anyone fixed this without making a new account?

If Apple support has escalated your issue and it is still not resolved, I am afraid that we as Apple users cannot help you with this. All that you can do is to wait for Apple support to make a fix available to users

Thanks, Nick. I hear you, but I'm hoping someone has run into this exact error and found a fix that worked. The account works for everything else, and only Activity Sharing invites and iCloud Keychain fail. If anyone has gotten past this, I'd love to hear what you did.
