How to stop your Apple Watch stupidly announcing exercise details
My god won’t it ever end?
Method one: Stopping Voice Feedback on the iPhone
First off, open the Watch app on your iPhone. Once you’re there, scroll down (or search) for the Workout app. Click on that, friend!
When you’re inside the Workout app, you should be faced with a series of options. Scroll down and, at the bottom, you should see the Voice Feedback toggle.
Easy as that!
Method two: Disabling Voice Feedback on the Apple Watch
Don’t wanna touch your phone? And don’t want to spend hours wading through watchOS 8 to turn off that dumbass voice?
We’ve got you.
First off, find Settings on your Apple Watch. Scroll down (likely to the very bottom of the menu) until you find the Workout app.
Once you’re in that, scroll to the bottom again. You’ll find Voice Feedback down there.
Well, that’s us all done here! Hopefully this short guide helps bring some peace back to your workouts.
