How to disable "are you sure" question when you end a workout?

I disagree LD150. If you look at what you provided it says you 1) swipe right hit end (the red X) and then 2) use the scroll wheel to scroll down the workout summary to hit done.

Now you hit end (still a red X), then you must tap a second time answering “Are You Sure?” and then you need to tap an X at the top left hand side of the workout summary closing the summary. So now there are three things a user must do to complete a workout.

My personal opinion is that I only want to do the first of these three actions.

If the new Are You Sure? tap has been put in place because the workout end is being triggered by users who are wearing clothing that is sweaty and interacts with the watch unknowingly then provide a switch in settings that users can set to add this last step. I can confirm that I do not have these issues and this added tap is annoying to me.

I also never, ever, wanted to scroll to the bottom of the summary to tap “Done”. I wished it would go away as soon as the display changed back to the clock. Especially annoyed that I needed to scroll down and tap it when I wanted to start a new workout a couple of minutes (or more) later.

These are obviously first world problems and there are others scattered around their products. In this case I can live with the added tapping and I continue to buy Apple products. But I always remember that Apple implemented this design on purpose and that says something about them too.

The difference is that the workout actually ended with the first tap. The Done was to confirm you have seen the summary and done with it. You didn’t actually even have to click on it unless you want to start a new workout the same time. After a while it used to automatically reset back as if you clicked Done.

Hurrah! Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who put in a complaint to https://apple.com/feedback

In a very rare U-Turn they fixed this and the Face Swipe change in only 10 weeks, I admit I didn’t think it would happen.

Thr only other one I can think of is the automatic headphones volume reduction for “Safety”

Thank you. I do not see this option. Under Watch->Workout in iPhone I see from top to bottom:

Lower Power Mode

Auto-Pause

Start Workout Reminder

End Workout Reminder

Press to Pause

View Metrics on iPhone

Alerts on Watch

Detect Gym Equipment

Workout Playlist

Units of Measure

Voice Feedback

Heart Rate Zones

Cycling Power

iPhone OS 17.1.2

Watch OS 10.2 (21S364)

Guessing it is my iPhone OS being 17.1 not 17.2? I'll update it tonight (auto update was on so not sure why I'm behind. Appears 17.2 was released 17 days ago).

Now you swipe right, tap end, then get a prompt to answer the are you sure question. Extra step, unfortunately.

complain at https://apple.com/feedback and they fix it in 10.2

It only replaced the END button, no additional strokes, and I have gotten used to it as I have run the software since June.

What you gain is the ability to tap the green one below it and end this one and go straight into a new workout, like if you are on a triathlon.

“End the workout on Apple Watch

When you reach your goal, you hear a tone and feel a vibration. If you’re feeling good and want to continue, go ahead—your Apple Watch continues to collect data until you tell it to stop. When you’re ready to end your workout:

1. Swipe right, then tap End.
2. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll through the results summary, then tap Done at the bottom.

Just to add, I completely share OP’s frustration at the extra step needed to end a workout.

I keep accidentally leaving it running on the ‘are you sure?’ screen, whereas previously pressing ‘End’ was all that I needed to do.

I have never needed to instantly start a new workout!

When you have got used to something being a particular way for a long time, it takes a while to adjust. I’m sure we’ll cope. But it’s no less valid a complaint.

I'd be surprised if triathlon users outnumber regular users. And even amongst triathlon users, I doubt they're regularly chaining workouts.

Perhaps the "New Workout" option could have been added to the initial screen when you swipe right (in addition to End, Pause, and Segment). That wouldn't have created an extra step for anyone...

Excellent idea, I had some bad experiences early on and I still have a ton of trouble using Apple Music & the Siri services. As a result I really do not to speak to my computer(s). But perhaps this is the time to try again for this specific instance.

Cheers!
