Q: How Do I Turn Off The Workout App?

Yesterday when I went for a run my Apple Workout app decided it was going to override the Strava app on my phone when I pressed start on my phone.

 

I now can't turn off the workout app. I finished the workout, but the app won't quit and the green lights it triggers on the back of the watch is draining the battery.

 

What obvious thing am I missing?

    Hi

     

    To end the workout, on your watch:

     

    • Open the Workout app and either:
      • Press firmly on the display, then tap on End, or;
      • Swipe all the way to the left to see the same option.
    • Then scroll down to save or discard your workout.

     

    If this does not work, restart both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off first, then restart your iPhone before restarting your watch:

    - To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off.

    - To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
