Frequently Asked Questions

🕒 How do I change my session schedule?

Go to the Samphire Wearable tab and scroll to the Schedule card. Tap “Modify Schedule” and choose between:

• Simple Loop - sessions repeat over a set number of days (e.g. 5 sessions every 29 days).
• Synced to Cycle - sessions align with your predicted period. You can choose how many sessions to run and how many days before your period they start.

If your cycles are irregular, we recommend using the Simple Loop option.

🚶 Why can’t I see my steps and sleep data?

If you see “Grant Access” on your steps or sleep cards, Samphire either:

• Doesn’t yet have access to your Apple Health data, or
• Hasn’t received any data from the past 6 months.

Simply tap the cards and follow the instructions to connect Apple Health.
