Workout Apple Watch Siri not working

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?

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!
