Metrics bar missing start & exit buttons during Streaming Workouts

Description: When pairing your workout with a Streaming app, this bug allows you to select more than the maximum number of metrics permitted. This causes the Start and Exit buttons to extend beyond the display.

Resolution: Reduce the number of metrics selected before beginning the workout.

 Steps to resolve

  1. Select your desired workout.

  2. On the Entertainment Options screen, select your desired streaming app.

  3. Before tapping Start, toggle off one or more metrics on the Workout Metrics Bar:

    • Tap the gear icon ⚙️ on the metrics bar.

    • Tap the slider next to the metric(s) we'll toggle off.

    • The metric is toggled off when the slider is on the left side.

  4. Once enough metrics are toggled off, the bar should fit the display and properly display the buttons.
