Hello, I'm having an issue with the Garmin and Strava apps. I live in Berlin and I bought glasses in Germany.
I have the app up to date, tried restarting both devices, and even doing a factory reset on the Vanguard, but none of them worked.
Neither Strava nor Garmin Connect appears on the app - the only ones that appear are Music apps.

I tried everything that you mentioned, but no success. Can it be related that my Facebook (aka Meta) account was initially created a long time ago and not in one of the supported countries? If so, can I change that to reflect where I live currently?

Hey gnatok

Thanks for trying out the suggestions previously mentioned. We have seen this issue relating to to un-supported countries before, with these tow apps specifically. Please attempt to change the country on your account and see if that resolves anything for you. Also if you are using a VPN we would suggest switching it off as this could be causing the un-supported location issue

Thanks.
