**July 2026**
A Live Activity now shows your current exercise, set, and rest countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Any exercise from the library can now be added mid-workout, planned from your last time doing it.
Settings now offers Backups — create snapshots of all your data and restore one with a tap.
A new Diagnostics screen in Settings shows iCloud, document, and network status when sync seems off.
Recording to Apple Health is now handled entirely by the watch, ending occasional duplicate workouts in Health.
Starting a new workout now takes you straight into it instead of back to the list.
The workout summary's heart-rate zone bar gains a numbered legend.
VoiceOver now describes exercise checkboxes, heart-rate zones, and dates naturally, and workout timers scale with your preferred text size.
The Bodyweight Core starter split no longer lists Bird Dog twice — Crunch takes the second slot.
Deleting your last split on the phone now clears the watch too.
Editing an old completed workout no longer moves its finish date to today.
Traveling across time zones no longer leaves a duplicate copy of a workout behind.
Exercise rows in a workout have a cleaner layout — the weight sits beside the exercise name, with sets × reps and any recorded machine settings beneath.
The Splits and Exercises entries in Settings now show how many each contains.
