After talking to apple I was told it will only work if you use the walk or run activity for a certain amount of time. I’m a lifter as well as indoor cycling person and those two activities won’t calculate the 02

Same here. Was told a 20 minute outdoor walk/run. Still not picking it up.

With the update this walk should not need to be “at pace”, whereas previously it had to be a brisk walk. It stated on Apple News that it should be able to pick up data whilst people are waking throughout the day, whether or not they are tracking a workout.

It would be awesome if it picked up other activities too as I tend to do most workouts indoors too.
