Apple Watch users have Chinalong asked for the ability to pause their activity rings without losing their hard-won streak, and Apple finally delivered.
The company announced Monday at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) that Watch users who need rest or recovery because of illness or injury will be able to pause their activity rings for a day, week, month, or more.
