    iOS 26 Shortcuts Logging of Workout Is Slow

    I have a shortcut that I wrote over a year ago to log a martial arts workout. I do this because I can't wear my Apple Watch during martial arts training. Once I updated to iOS 26 (now 26.0.1) the logging takes a long time, about 5 or so seconds. Specifically in the section of the shortcut that...

    watchOS 26 Smart Stack, workout suggestions, and 5-second countdown

    I like the new workout suggestions in the Smart Stack on watchOS 26. However, when I see a suggestion for my afternoon walk, and I tap on it, I don't get the 5-second countdown like I do if I start a workout from the Workout app. Does anyone know of a way for that countdown to happen?

    Cycling Cadence sensors

    Apple mentioned cycling cadence, speed and power monitoring during the WWDC keynote. I've got a cadence/speed sensor that I've been able to get working using a 3rd party app. Is this functional yet in the workout app or Fitness+?

    Custom workouts for something other than running?

    Is it possible to create custom workouts for activities other than running? Would be especially useful for swimming so that I don't have to remember every set but can simply check the watch. I could also use (free) third party apps if there is any. Many thanks in advance!

At random moments the screen shows split 1 or split 2. I am not sure what to do so I just click the side crown button to make it go away. I...

    iPhone Gym workout app

    I've started back in the gym but this time it is without a trainer. When I went to the gym before, I had a trainer and she kept a notebook. For each piece of equipment, she would have the settings and the weight and perhaps other notes. It also logged what exercises we did each week because...

    When doing an outdoor walk workout, I used to get voice feedback on how many miles I've completed and when a ring closes (movement, exercise, etc.). After updating to watch OS 9, I no longer receive these voice feedback updates but instead get split updates and some other useless info. Does...
