How to Disable Guided Announcements on Samsung Galaxy Watch During Exercise

Learn how to turn off or customize guided announcements on your Samsung Galaxy Watch to avoid distractions during workouts and improve focus on your exercise routine.

If you find guided announcements distracting while exercising on your Samsung Galaxy Watch, you can easily disable or adjust them. This feature provides audio feedback during workouts, but it can be customized or turned off entirely depending on your preference.

1. Why Do Guided Announcements Appear During Exercise?

Guided announcements are designed to provide real-time feedback during workouts, such as distance covered, time elapsed, or heart rate. While helpful for some users, others may find these notifications disruptive, especially when listening to music or focusing on their exercise routine.

2. How to Disable Guided Announcements on Your Samsung Galaxy Watch

Follow these steps to turn off or customize guided announcements during exercise:

  1. Open the Samsung Health app on your Samsung Galaxy Watch.
  2. Select the workout you want to customize (e.g., Running, Walking, Cycling).
  3. Tap on Guide Frequency in the settings menu.
  4. Choose your preferred option:
  5. - None: Disables guided announcements completely.

    - Distance: Sets announcements based on distance intervals (e.g., every 1 km).

    - Time: Sets announcements based on time intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes).

3. Additional Things to Check

Keep in mind the following details when adjusting guided announcements:

- Changes made to the Guide Frequency settings apply only to the selected workout. You'll need to adjust the settings individually for each exercise type.
