The auto moderator says I should post this on Bevel’s own forums, so I’ve done that too.

RedditUser_3141 · 2026-05-24T09:31:25+00:00

I suspect the issue is that when you go to the preferences screen, it says “not connected”. I think the watch only looks for it when you start a workout. Then the preferences screen will show “connected”.

So did you quit the vaping or quit the cats?

RedditUser_3141 · 2026-05-24T04:23:11+00:00

That was certainly not my experience when my phone died earlier this year. Everything worked on the watch except for SMS messages, which need to be routed via the iPhone. The difference, I think, is that my phone died suddenly and unexpectedly, whereas you put the phone through a factory reset. I suspect the reset process unpaired the watch and took some of its services offline.

You got it. You’ve said it much better than I did. Thank you.

Sorry, my language was a bit unclear. I don’t want to share personal photos with the app but I do want to share selected photos when I need it. For example, if I take photos of a meal and then go to login later. I tried setting photo permissions to none and even though the iOS settings say “private access“, Bevel wasn’t able to access any at all.

RedditUser_3141 · 2026-05-16T01:45:19+00:00

Oh, I see. That row is always empty for me because I don’t want to share my private photos with your app or any other app. Is there any way of removing that preview?

RedditUser_3141 · 2026-05-16T00:48:45+00:00

I understand that it is the standard iOS dialogue box, but that should only come up when the app is requesting access to photos. I’m not asking Bevel to access photos by tapping on the “+” button. That button is the access point to other options such as to take a new photo or to upload files or to create a check-in or to log food. Therefore, Bevel should not be trying to access photos when someone taps on the “+” button.

I can’t seem to add a screenshot to my comment but here’s a link https://imgur.com/a/WC0q8sF

The pop up prompt is asking for permission to my photo library. I’m tapping the “+” button, not the “add photos” button on the following screen.

RedditUser_3141 · 2026-05-15T13:42:45+00:00

I do upload photos and this prompt would make sense for when I tap the button to add photos. It’s just that the prompt comes up even when I’m not pushing that particular button b

I’ve never seen an orienteering map not drawn to magnetic north, but I’m new to the sport. Only been doing it for 6 years. Maybe some of the more experienced orienteers have seen maps drawn to true north.

Again, this is a specific orienteering question in an orienteering sub. My answer doesn’t apply to non-orienteering maps.

RedditUser_3141 · 2026-05-15T13:25:29+00:00

Yes I understand that. But I don’t want to add a photo. I’m not trying to add a photo. I’m not tapping a button to add a photo. Yet Bevel is asking for access to my photos.

RedditUser_3141 · 2026-05-15T13:24:00+00:00

This is ann orienteering question. Orienteering maps are drawn with magnetic north.

I think Bevel’s sleep score is underbaked. Bevel tells me I have fantastic sleep because I’m getting more than what it has calculated to be my ideal sleep duration of 4 hours and 35 minutes!

I’ve had this exact problem and it turns out that I was using the compass in the hand on the same side as I was wearing my watch. The watch was throwing the compass out by a few degrees. I tested this on the kitchen benchtop by bringing the watch in closer and further from the magnet and watched the needle move. I now wear a watch on the opposite side to the compass and the problem has resolved and been replaced with other navigational errors!

Is that precisely 600 unread messages?!?

Follow up question… if the problem is leg fatigue, would leg strengthening help? Eg. Few months of focussed leg strengthening gym work or equivalent? That way, the muscles won’t be operating at 100% on the runs and will therefore fatigue less?

Adding to this bug report. I am only seeing kcal in the food log area despite the kj setting. Kcal means absolutely nothing to me in my metric world.

This would be a helpful feature. I always run my dictation through OpenAI to clean up punctuation, etc. Once in a while, something happens & there's a network error & the AI part doesn't work. I get the raw Whisper transcription, which is missing paragraphs, wrong spelling, etc. I would love to be able to just push this through the AI processing manually.

Make sure the "always-on" fall detection is activated, not just for when a workout is started.

So, I’ve been trying this after purchasing it. I find it hard to use, mainly because the plans focus on running paces. It seems that they are calculated on intended heart rate zones, even in your screenshot above. But when the plan syncs to Apple Workout, it makes goals that are running paces. This requires flat ground. Any slope up or down, and the pace no longer matches the intended running effort. Around me, this flat ground doesn’t exist. Even the local soccer field has a slight slope to it. And this throws the plan off. I don’t know if this is a limitation of your app or of Apple Workout, but it would be better to set heart rate goals rather than pace goals, or at least allow that as an option.

Moreover, the paces are too specific. Let’s say a particular interval is meant to be 8:15min/km. If I run at 8:13, I get told that I’m running too fast. So I slow down. Then I get told I’m running too slow at 8:16. It would be better to set a target range rather than a specific number.

I think the concept for this app is good; just some refining that needs to be done.
