How to share your activity from Apple Watch

Keep your fitness routine on track by sharing your activity with family and friends—you can even share with a trainer or coach. You can get notifications when your friends meet their goals, finish workouts, and earn achievements.

You can check your friends’ progress, and even challenge a friend to a competition, earning points as you close your Activity rings. You can also mute a friend’s notifications or hide your activity from them.

Here’s how to share your activity from Apple Watch.

Add or remove a friend

1. Go to the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap the Sharing button.
3. Tap Invite a Friend, turn the Digital Crown to scroll through your contacts, and tap a name.

Check your friends’ progress

1. Start the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap the Sharing button.
3. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll through your friends list.
4. Tap a friend’s name to see their stats for the day.

Compete with your friends

A little healthy competition can keep you motivated. Challenge a friend to a competition, and you earn points based on the percentage of your Activity Rings you close, with a point for each percent you add to your rings every day. Over the 7 days a competition lasts, you can earn up to 600 points a day, or a maximum of 4,200 for the week. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. Along the way, alerts show the score and tell you if you’re ahead of your competitor or falling behind.

1. Start the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap the Sharing button, then tap a friend’s name.
3. Scroll down and tap Compete.
4. Tap Invite [your friend’s name]. Then wait for your friend to accept.

Or, when you receive an Activity sharing notification—your friend just closed their rings or doubled their move goal, for example—you can scroll down and tap Compete.

You can also open the Fitness app on your iPhone, tap Sharing, tap a friend, tap Compete, then tap Invite [your friend’s name].
