Key Takeaways:
- Enable Samsung Health Notifications – This prevents the workout screen from switching back to the home screen.
- Turn On Always-On Display – Keeps the screen visible but may drain the battery faster..
Ever been in the middle of an intense workout, only to find your Galaxy Watch screen has mysteriously switched back to the home screen? Annoying, right? I’ve been there too, and trust me, it’s frustrating.
You just want to track your progress, but your watch has other plans. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Here, I will explain how to keep your Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 workout screen active.
How to Keep Your Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 Workout Screen Active
1. Enable Samsung Health Notifications
The main reason your workout screen keeps disappearing? Samsung Health notifications are turned off. When notifications are disabled, your watch assumes you don’t need to see your workout stats (which is ridiculous, I know). Thankfully, fixing this is super easy. Here’s what you need to do:
- First, make sure your watch and phone are connected.
- Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone.
- Tap Watch Settings, then go to Notifications.
- Select App Notifications and find Samsung Health.
- Turn on Samsung Health notifications—yes, all of them!
Once you do this, the ‘Workout in Progress’ icon will stay on, and your screen won’t keep disappearing like a magician’s trick.
2. Enable Notifications Directly on Your Watch
Maybe you don’t want to fiddle with your phone. No problem! You can also enable notifications directly on your watch. Here’s how:
- Swipe down from the watch home screen.
- Tap the Settings (gear) icon.
- Select Apps, then tap App List.
- Find Samsung Health and tap on it.
- Go to Permissions and allow notifications.
Boom! Now, your watch won’t rudely interrupt your workout by switching screens.
3. Turn On Always-On Display
Another handy trick? Turn on the Always-On Display feature. It keeps your watch screen lit up, so you can check your stats anytime—no tapping required. Here’s how to enable it:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen.
- Tap the Settings (gear) icon.
- Go to Display and find Always-on screen.
- Toggle the switch ON.
Now, your screen will always be visible—just like that one overenthusiastic gym trainer who never stops watching you. One thing to note, though: this feature does drain your battery faster. So if your watch dies in the middle of the day, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
