Stopping Workout Pause Popups

Hello!  I'm using a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and S25 Ultra, and have what is probably a dumb question.

Often during a workout I will pause a run an ECG to make sure my heart isn't too far out of normal rhythm.  The problem is that I'll get partway through the ECG and suddenly the "Workout paused" thing pops up, shutting down everything else and deleting the ECG I was hoping to review.  I've searched online, and the consensus seems to be turn off auto pause in settings... but I've done that and it still happens.  Is there a way to shut that off without turning off autodetect workouts, which is pretty handy?  Thanks in advance!

  • Adjust auto-detection settings for specific workouts.

  • Turn off auto-pause for certain activities (running, cycling, etc.).

  • Use Do Not Disturb during workouts to prevent pop-ups.

  • Update to the latest software version.

What do you do for sports that do not have an auto pause toggle?  When I golf auto pause comes on multiple times so you cannot record a full golf round? Do not disturb may prevent pop ups but probably not the auto pause coming on....

Thanks for your help... I've tried these and unfortunately none of them work. Even do not disturb didn't prevent this from popping up, weirdly enough.

The thing is that I'm not talking about actual workouts. I walk a lot at work; on a busy night I can cover miles. Walking is healthy but you can have too much of a good thing, at least all at once. When you have heart issues it pays to monitor it. šŸ˜‚

I guess it's just the way the system works. Thanks for trying at least!
