The workout app always is in foreground and not PickleTick

If you have started a regular workout on your Apple Watch outside of PickleTick the active workout is in foreground by default. This means whenever you turn your wrist it will jump back to the active workout and move PickleTick into the background.

Disable “Return to App” for Workouts

  1. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app
  2. Go to General → Return to Clock → Workout
  3. Turn off Return to App

Keep PickleTick in the Foreground Longer

You can also extend how long PickleTick stays visible:

  1. In the Apple Watch app, go to General → Return to Clock → PickleTick
  2. Set Return to Clock to Custom
  3. Select After 1 hour

Important Note About Workouts

If you start a workout using the Workouts app:

  • Consider disabling Automatic Workouts in the PickleTick Watch app settings
  • This prevents interference with an already running workout

⚠️ Note: Disabling automatic workouts means burned calories will not be added to matches.
