On iOS 14 I could ask Siri through my iPhone to start a workout for example “hey Siri start an outdoor walk” and the Apple Watch workout app would start up. Now on ios15 when I ask Siri the same question through the iPhone, the activity app on the iPhone opens up instead. I have to hold the Digital Crown and ask Siri on my Apple Watch to start a workout instead.
kind of annoying. Anyone else experience the same? Any fixes?
Apple Watch
for the meantime ive just make a Shortcuts flow that has a single action, Starting a workout on my Apple watch. it’s a clunky and inflexible (you’ll have to create one shortcut per workout type, since you’ll have no way to specify), but at least it works no matter what device hears you. My current naming scheme is “[Workout type] bypass].” ie “Walking bypass” , “Running Bypass” but obvs that’s up to you!
Thanks. Just tried that and it’s still the same. I will contact apple support
I have noticed the same behavior. I rely heavily on this functionality as I have one arm, so starting it manually on the watch is quite difficult.
This is exactly what’s happening to me. AirPods, Apple Watch 5, and 13 Pro.
Yep. We’ve had a few iOS and watchOS updates since I started nothing this issue, it still not working for me either.
Same problem, and looking for a fix
Edit to above my suggestion above !!!!!! I went out today to test my watch outside, and found that I forgot to turn on Mobile Data plan !!! Mobile Data MUST be ON for it to work, as I guess it goes thru Apple servers. Worked Fine when I turned it on !
