# Forgot to press start? Review what you missed.

POWR can suggest unrecorded activity from the information on your iPhone. Nothing becomes a workout until you confirm it.

## A suggestion, not a finished log

Activity recorded through Apple Health can help POWR identify a possible session. Review the suggested activity and timing, make corrections, or dismiss it.

Detection is not guaranteed. Sessions that leave little wearable or motion data may be missed, and a suggested activity name can be wrong.

## The confirmation is yours

Detection runs on your iPhone. A detected workout is not sent to the server until you save it. Calendar and motion access are optional permissions, and you can decline them.

POWR reads calendar titles when permitted; it does not create, edit, or delete calendar events.

## Recording still gives you more

A detected session does not recreate GPS routes, splits, or sets that were never recorded. Start [workout recording](https://powrhealth.com/workout-tracking) when you want those details.

Background availability depends on the information your device records and the permissions you grant. Check the source data if suggestions seem incomplete.

## Sleep is different

POWR reads sleep from Apple Health instead of detecting sleep itself. See [recovery and sleep](https://powrhealth.com/recovery) for what those readings mean in the app.

## FAQ

### Do I have to turn detection on?

Detection is available from the start and runs on your iPhone. Nothing detected is saved as a workout until you confirm it.

### Does it work when the app is closed?

POWR can use background updates from Apple Health. Availability depends on your device, permissions, and the data recorded.

### Will it log something I did not do?

Suggestions can be wrong, but nothing becomes a logged workout without your confirmation. Correct or dismiss the suggestion.

### Does detection replace recording?

No. It cannot recreate GPS routes, splits, or individual sets that were not recorded.

### Does it detect my sleep too?

No. Sleep is read from Apple Health. See [recovery and sleep](https://powrhealth.com/recovery).
