How do I see the StrongLifts Live Activity on my Apple Watch?
During a workout, StrongLifts shows a Live Activity in the Smart Stack of your Apple Watch. This is a card with your next set or your rest time. You can see it without opening the app.
When you tap the live activity, you will open StrongLifts on your Apple Watch.

Turn on Live Activities on your Apple Watch
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
- Tap Apps, then tap StrongLifts.
- Tap Live Activities and turn it on.
- On your Apple Watch, open the Settings app.
- Tap Smart Stack, then tap Live Activities.
- Make sure the options let Live Activities show.
Your iPhone makes the card and sends it to your Apple Watch. If Live Activities are off for StrongLifts on your iPhone, the card does not show on your Apple Watch.
If the card does not show, start a workout in StrongLifts on your iPhone. Then check the Live Activities setting for StrongLifts on your iPhone again.
