Stay in the Loop with Hevy’s Live Activity Widget
Hevy comes with a live activity widget for iOS and Android, allowing you to see workout details like what the next activity is, how many sets you’ve done on the current activity, and what your prescribed weight and reps are.
You can also see how long you’ve been training and mark set as completed without unlocking your phone or opening the app.
Once you mark a set as complete and trigger the rest timer, the rest timer will appear on the live activity widget, making it more convenient to monitor your recovery while using other apps on your phone or keeping it locked. You can increase or decrease the rest timer in 15-second increments or skip it altogether from the widget.
How to Use Hevy’s Live Activity Widget
iOS
1. Ensure that live activity is enabled for your phone. Phone settings > Apps > Hevy > Toggle on 'Live Activities'. Enter your passcode and scroll to Allow Access When Locked. Use the toggle button to activate Live Activities.
2. Navigate to Notifications, find Hevy, and enable the types of notifications you want to get. Make sure Live Activities is toggled on.
3. The live activity widget will appear when you log a workout in Hevy. You can access it by swiping down from the top left of the screen (useful when using another app) or tapping on your screen while your phone is locked.
Android
- Navigate to the notification settings and enable them for Hevy. Select the lock screen, badge, and pop-up notifications (With these enabled, you will access the live activity widget, where you can track your rest timer and see workout details like the current exercise, what set is next, and how many reps you should do.)
- Like on iOS, these will be available when you swipe down from the top of the screen or tap on your screen while the phone is locked.
