Mirror problem, Fitness App iPhone & Watch

Updated iPhone and Apple Watch to 26.1. Since updates, Fitness App in iPhone now mirrors the watch if I’m actively recording a workout with the watch.

I do not want the iPhone Fitness app to mirror the watch. I want to be able to look at old workout sessions, activity rings, daily step count/distance, etc on Fitness app while recording a new workout with the watch.

How do I disable the screen mirroring?

Apple Watch Series 10, watchOS 26

Your Fitness App can also start a workout. If you swipe right on your watch, you should see the option to stop mirroring the workout in the Fitness App on the iPhone, which will then return to the normal view.
