# Use Live Activities

Keep the current set within a glance between exercises. Allow Momentum's Live
Activities in iPhone **Settings**, then start a strength workout in Momentum
to follow it from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.

## Get your workout in view

Use Momentum on your iPhone with Live Activities allowed. This guide follows
an active strength workout, not a workout you have only scheduled.

Dynamic Island is optional and requires an iPhone that has it. You do not
need to add a Home Screen widget to use a Live Activity.

## Follow the set, then choose an action

1. Open iPhone **Settings** and find Momentum's settings.
2. Turn on **Live Activities** for Momentum if the option is available.
3. Open Momentum and start your strength workout.
4. View the activity on your Lock Screen. On an iPhone with Dynamic Island,
   touch and hold the activity to expand it.
5. Choose the control that matches what you want to do.

| Workout state | Available controls |
| --- | --- |
| Working on a set | **Log set** records the current set; **Pause** pauses the workout. |
| Resting | **Skip rest** ends the current rest; **Pause** pauses the workout. |
| Paused | **Resume** resumes the workout. |

**Log set** records the set's planned reps and weight. If you did different
reps or used a different weight, open Momentum to enter what you did instead.

The detailed view shows your exercise and set information with planned values.
During work, the timer shows elapsed workout time; during rest, it shows time
remaining. Pausing freezes elapsed time. Compact Dynamic Island views show
less detail—expand the activity to reach the controls.

## Return to the workout when you need more

Tap the activity outside its buttons to open the workout in Momentum.

After you complete the workout or end it early, its final view can remain on
the Lock Screen for up to an hour. It no longer offers workout controls.
Open Momentum to review your result; the system may remove the activity sooner.

## If the activity is missing or out of date

Open Momentum and check the active workout first. If an action's result is
unclear, check the current set before trying again. An old activity cannot
reliably tell you what changed.

Check that Live Activities remain allowed for Momentum in iPhone **Settings**.
System availability and display limits can prevent an activity from appearing
or continuing. Opening the app does not guarantee an immediate update.

If the device asks you to unlock, unlock it normally. Protected workout data
may be unavailable, so a visible control does not guarantee that the action
can run.

Turning off Live Activities does not finish the workout or delete its saved
data. Use Momentum to continue, finish, or end the workout. A missing activity
alone does not mean your workout ended.
