iOS 18 Fitness App

Thanks to the iOS 18 Fitness app, which was added to the iPhone with a few of iOS releases ago, users can now track their steps and activity directly from their phone, eliminating the need to purchase an Apple Watch. Because Fitness has been so crucial in helping me achieve my own health and fitness objectives, it ranks high among the applications I use most often.

However, the Fitness method has one major drawback: it isn’t precisely adaptable. Every day of the week will revolve around your daily Move goal. The Fitness app doesn’t take into account days when you have extra time to exercise or rest; if you don’t meet your one locked-in Move target on any given day, your streak will be broken.

A great addition to the iOS 18 Fitness app alters that: you can now create separate Move goals for each day of the week. People who wish to keep tabs on their step count but can’t justify shelling out for an Apple Watch will be pleased to know that this iOS 18 upgrade is a carbon copy of a comparable modification made with this year’s watchOS 11 version.

Learn how to pause your Apple Watch Activity Rings and take advantage of individual daily Move targets with our previous tutorial. Here’s how the Fitness app on an iPhone lets users establish various Move goals.

1. Get to your Activity Ring Settings.

Select your Activity Ring in the Fitness app.

2. Adjust your Move Goal

Press Change Goal on the screen that follows. You’ll find it right underneath the information on your daily activities, such the number of steps you’ve taken, the distance you’ve traveled, and the number of flights of stairs you’ve climbed.

3. Establish Daily Objectives

An additional screen will appear with your daily Move objective. You can adjust your weekly goal here, but if you want to change it for just one day, you can do so by tapping the Schedule button in the top right.

Each day of the week, along with their move objective, is displayed. In order to modify a particular objective, you can tap the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-) next to it. After finishing, press the Set Move Goal Schedule button.

4. Take Action

The current day’s Move objective will now show up on your Activity Ring. Take that ring off now!

That concludes our walk-through of the iOS 18 Fitness app’s daily move goal customization options.
