What's new in Lyfta: October 2026 product update

October lets you log a set from the Lock Screen, without unlocking your phone.

Log sets from your Lock Screen

The Live Activity on the Lock Screen has buttons to log a set, skip rest, or jump to the next exercise. You can keep the session going between sets without unlocking the phone. It is out now for everyone on 17.2 or later. Start a workout, lock the phone, and use the buttons on the Lock Screen.
