broke exercise shortcut feature

ANSWERED

Exercise shortcuts on Inspire 3 show all 36 exercises, not just the shortcuts selected in the app.

 

How can I undo the firmware update? 

 

I HATE THIS!

Let me count the ways I hate this *removal of a feature* that I relied on. 

1. The Walk icon looks exactly like the Run icon, and is the same color. I'm visually impaired and rely on color/visual differences in order to use products with teeny tiny text that I can't read. 

2. The Run comes on automatically, even when it's not what I'm doing. The result is that Run is now top of my list, and I can't tell it apart from Walk. So the next time I try to choose an exercise, it's RUN when I *never ever want to see Run in my list at all.* 

3. The app used to let me choose NOT to "detect exercise automatically." Now that feature is no longer working, and exercise is detected automatically even through I don't want automatic detection. 

4. You removed a feature that I relied on, and didn't tell me it would be removed. "Feature updates" is what you promised when you told me to upgrade my firmware -- not feature removal.

Hello @Bellabz and welcome to the Community.  A recent firmware update moved all the exercise shortcuts to the Exercise app on the Inspire 3.  This is intentional.  It also added shortcuts that weren't on the Inspire 3 when it was released.  Now that all the shortcuts are on the device, your list will self-separate into your recently used shortcuts and all the rest.  We can't undo this.

Horrible change. Use focus groups sometimes.

After the latest update: On my Inspire 3, I see my two shortcuts I set in the phone app. There's a third icon on the device (after showing my two shortcuts) called More. Only when I tap on it, I see the rest of the Olympic games I care less about. 
If I tapped the More icon and regretted it, I just touched both sides of the device to turn off the screen. When I turn it on again, it shows only my two shortcuts, with the More icon, but without the whole list.

Seems like this is the same issue I posted about under "Bring back exercise shortcuts on Inspire 3" and should be combined in the hopes of garnering enough votes to fix it. Thank you!

This is not my experience. I see ALL exercise shortcuts on my wrist, even though prior to the update I had only 1 visible.
