activity with when watch locked
The Activity App does not work until the watch is unlocked via the iPhone, is there away to have the activity App running without the unlocking via the iPhone?
Apple Watch Sport 38mm, watchOS 2.1, null
Hi Anthony
You might prefer to use these settings:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Wrist Detection - turn this on.
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Passcode > Turn Passcode on (choose either a Simple Passcode or a more complex one).
- Also on the Passcode settings screen, enable Unlock with iPhone.
After putting it on your wrist, your watch will then unlock after whatever you do first: either unlocking your watch manually (by entering the passcode) or unlocking your iPhone.
It will then remain unlocked (including when the screen is asleep) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it will lock automatically.
Whilst you are wearing your watch on your wrist, the Activity app will then continue to record your activity.
