How to hide stopwatch on dynamic island and lock screen on iphone 14Pro?

My dynamic island and my lock screen on iphone always show my stopwatch. The stop watch has my lap details and I need to keep them on the app. However, I just want to disable the lap from being perpetually visible on my lock screen or my dynamic island. I even tried diaabling the 'live activites' but it didn't work. Any ideas?

As long as the Stopwatch is running or paused in the background, it will appear in both the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. This is by design and cannot be disabled without stopping the Stopwatch or force-closing the Clock app. The “Live Activities” setting doesn’t apply to the built-in Stopwatch.
