How do I detect a screenshot on the Apple Watch?

The native workout app and Sportstracker for example have the ability to pause the workout when a user presses both the digital crown and the side button at the same time, AKA taking a screenshot.


I need something like this but I can't find anything about it in the docs or anywhere else online. For iOS there's the "notificationUIApplicationUserDidTakeScreenshot", but that doesn't work on watchOS.


Anyone know how to do this? Is it publicly available or is this a private API? Did I not look well enough?

I don't believe you can detect either presses. Explore using the force-touch.

Sportstracker is a non-Apple app and has it though, so it is possible somehow, just need to know how and if I can also do it or not.


Using force-touch or just a simple button is possible in my case but being able to use the buttons would be a LOT more userfriendly, which is why I want to know how to do this or be answered a straight "you will not be able to do this, ever".


I also emailed Apple support so I guess I'll just wait and see what their answer is.
