7 Minute Workout on iPhone Duo, Built for the Fold
By Stuart Hall · Last updated: October 20, 2026
Yes, 7 Minute Workout supports iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable iPhone. Support arrived in version 19 of the app and was refined in version 20, so it is ready for iPhone Duo owners from day one.
The workout screen adapts to how you hold the phone. Unfold it for a side-by-side view, half fold it and stand it on the floor, or close it and use the outer screen like any other iPhone.
What is iPhone Duo?
iPhone Duo is Apple's foldable iPhone. It was announced in September 2026 and goes on sale on October 23, 2026, in more than 70 countries and regions. It has a large inner display that folds closed, plus a smaller outer display for one handed use, and it ships with iOS 27.1.
Because the screen can change shape mid-use, apps need to handle the fold properly. That is exactly what we built for.
How 7 Minute Workout uses the fold
- Unfolded: a side-by-side workout view, with the exercise video on one side and your timer and progress on the other
- Half folded: stand the phone up like a small laptop and the workout stays on the top half, where you can see it from the floor
- Closed: the outer screen works like a regular iPhone, with the full workout and voice guidance
- Controls on the side: pause, skip, and other workout controls sit where iPhone Duo expects them, so they are easy to reach
- No lost progress: rotate, fold, or unfold mid-workout and the app keeps your place
Why a foldable suits a 7 minute workout
During a quick HIIT circuit you are on the floor, moving fast, and rarely holding your phone. A half folded iPhone Duo stands up on its own, so there is no need to prop it against a shoe or a water bottle.
The bigger inner screen also makes the exercise demo video and the timer easier to read from a few feet away. Voice guidance still calls out every exercise and rest, so you can keep your eyes on your form.
How to start a workout on iPhone Duo
- Download or update 7 Minute Workout from the App Store (version 19 or later)
- Pick a workout, such as the classic 12 exercise circuit
- Half fold the phone and set it on the floor in front of you, or unfold it fully on a table
- Press start and follow the voice cues, 30 seconds on and 10 seconds rest
Side-by-side workouts, a timer above the fold, and voice guidance for every exercise.
Works on the rest of your Apple devices too
iPhone Duo support sits alongside the rest of the app. 7 Minute Workout also runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Mac, and integrates with Apple Health. On iPad you get the same side-by-side layout, with bigger text, timer, and video so the workout is easy to follow from across the room.
The app is iOS only and is not available on Android foldables.
