FULL STORY
======================================================================You can 
now create custom Apple Watch workouts from your iPhone That makes the 
process much easier and more convenient The change comes with the iOS 26 and 
watchOS 26 updates 

Sick of trying to create custom fitness workouts on your Apple Watch screen? 
Weve got some good news, as Apple has brought a welcome change to watchOS 26 
and iOS 26 that could help you create your own workouts without having to 
fiddle around with a tiny wrist-worn display. 

Thats because iOS 26 allows you to draw up custom workouts on your iPhone 
rather than having to persist in doing it directly on your Apple Watch. That 
puts everything in a much more comfortable user interface, particularly for 
more detailed plans and sessions. 

To get started, youll need to open Apples Fitness app on your iPhone. Tap the 
Workout tab at the bottom, then tap the timer icon underneath a workout type 
(such as Outdoor Walk or Traditional Strength Training). You should now see 
three tabs reading All, Goals, and Custom. Tap Custom, then tap the + button 
and start adding details and intervals to your workout. Quick and easy (Image

This change will be a positive one for anyone whos tried to add a multi-step 
workout directly on their Apple Watch. Instead of having to tap through 
multiple options and layers on a small screen, you can now add a custom 
workout in just a few taps in a much more approachable interface. 

Adding a repeating step is now incredibly quick and easy to implement, for 
instance, and theres very little back and forth between different screens and 
options. 

Once youve saved your custom workout, its synced to your Apple Watch, so you 
can start it on your wrist whenever youre ready. If you decide to start a 
custom workout from your iPhone, youll see your progress in each interval, 
however youre choosing to measure it. And if you want to edit it, you can do 
that on both your iPhone and your Apple Watch. 

The watchOS 26 update brings a range of other fitness-oriented features, 
including a new Workout app layout, an artificial intelligence-powered 
Workout Buddy voice assistant, better integration with music and podcasts, 
and more. 

While those additions have grabbed more of the headlines, the tweak to custom 
workouts could be a sleeper hit for a lot of Apple Watch users. You might
