Red Lines On Apple Watch

Thats the new Workout Buddy with iOS 26, a feature that gives you voice encouragements during your workouts. But it means it's currently not available. It does require paired Bluetooth headphones, an Apple Intelligence supported and installed iPhone (15 Pro and newer), and your device and Siri language set to English. You can also turn it off by tapping the bell icon on the Workout page beforehand then tap Workout Buddy.

Yes, always.

Ok great, thanks for clarifying. If you open the Workout Buddy on your Workout page, have you selected a voice of your liking yet? They have to be downloaded before use so ensure you choose one and have done that.

Just did! I toggled Use Workout Buddy to on and chose a voice for Outdoor Walk. I did the same for Outdoor Run. Those are the two I use. I should be good now. I sincerely appreciate you helping me out. Thank you!

You're very welcome! And very impressive that you've been apart of the community for 20 years. Good luck, have fun, and keep working hard with your workouts.

Do you have your iPhone with you during the workout?
