Hand Washing App

Love the app, but . . . is there a way that you can turn the app on when washing hands versus leaving it on all the time. When washing dishes, the 20 second timer is always coming up.

There is a toggle in settings for turning on and off the handwashing timer. You can hold the Digital Crown down to launch Siri and say turn off handwashing timer or turn on handwashing timer. That seems to work. I don’t know much about shortcuts but maybe you could make a shortcut on the iPhone and send it to the watch to do this and set it up as a complication. Then tapping the complication would do what you want. I’m just speculating. Someone more knowledgable than I may be able to give further clarification
