Deleting workouts from third-party apps

Ever tracked a workout on your Apple Watch using a third-party app, only to realize later it’s cluttering up your stats? Fear not, fitness enthusiast! Here’s a guide to deleting those unwanted workouts, explained in simple terms:

Understanding the Process:

There’s an important distinction to make: deleting workouts directly on your Apple Watch isn’t always supported for third-party apps. Instead, we’ll tackle this through the app itself or your paired iPhone.

Method 1: Deleting within the Third-Party App:

1. Launch the App: Open the specific third-party app you used for the workout you want to erase.
2. Seek the Activity History: Look for a section dedicated to past workouts, activity history, or similar terminology. This might involve tapping menus, settings, or browsing options within the app.
3. Find Your Target: Locate the specific workout you want to delete. Date, type, duration, or other details can help you identify it.
4. Delete Away: Most apps offer a delete button, trash can icon, or similar option next to the workout. Tap it to initiate the deletion.
5. Confirm Your Choice: Some apps might ask for confirmation before permanently removing the workout. Confirm if needed.

Method 2: Deleting via iPhone:

1. Open the Health App: This is the native Apple app that stores health and fitness data, including workouts.
2. Navigate to Workouts: Tap the “Browse” tab at the bottom of the app, then select “Workouts.”
3. Filter for Clarity: If you have many workouts, use the filters by date, app, or workout type to narrow down your search.
4. Spot the Intruder: Find the workout from the third-party app you want to delete.
5. Swipe and Delete: Swipe left on the workout and tap the “Delete” button that appears. Confirm the deletion if prompted.

• Some third-party apps might not offer built-in deletion within their app. In such cases, stick to the iPhone method via the Health app.
• Deleting a workout usually removes it from all places, including Activity rings, trends, and achievements. However, double-check the specific app’s behavior in case of variations.
• If you’re unsure about deleting a specific workout, consider taking a screenshot of its data for future reference before removing it.

Restoring deleted workouts if necessary

Gone are the days of despairing over accidentally trashed workouts on your Apple Watch! Fear not, fitness aficionados, for this guide, crafted with user-friendliness and clarity in mind, will equip you with the knowledge to potentially resurrect your deleted exercise records.

Before We Begin:

Unfortunately, Apple Watch doesn’t have a built-in “undo” button for workouts. However, depending on how recently you deleted the workout and whether you have backups enabled, there might still be hope! Let’s explore your options:

Option 1: Check Your iPhone Health App

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the Browse tab at the bottom.
3. Select Activity, then Workouts.
4. Scroll down and tap Show All Data.
5. On this screen, you might see your deleted workout listed. However, it won’t impact your Activity rings or streak even if you re-add it.

Option 2: Sync with Backups (if applicable)

If you have iCloud backups enabled for your Apple Watch and Health data:

1. Restore your iPhone from a backup that predates the workout deletion. Warning: This will erase all data and settings on your iPhone after the selected backup point.
2. Once restored, your Apple Watch will automatically sync with your iPhone, potentially bringing back the deleted workout to your Health app. However, restoring from backups can be complex and risky, so proceed with caution and consider consulting Apple Support if needed.

Option 3: Manual Data Entry (Last Resort)

If the above options fail, you can manually add the workout data in the Health app:

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the Browse tab and select Activity.
3. Tap Workouts, then the + button in the top right corner.
4. Choose the type of workout you deleted.
5. Enter the date, duration, calories burned, and distance (if applicable) to the best of your recollection.

Remember: Manually entering data won’t affect your Activity rings or streak, and it won’t be as accurate as the original recording.

• Restart: Sometimes, a simple restart of your Apple Watch and iPhone can resolve syncing issues that might be hiding your deleted workout.
• Update: Ensure your Apple Watch and iPhone are running the latest software updates for optimal performance and potential bug fixes.
• Preventative Measures: Enable iCloud backups for your Health data to have a safety net in case of future accidental deletions.
