Setting up fitness sharing on your Apple Watch allows you to share your activity progress with friends and stay motivated. Here's how to invite a friend directly from your watch.
To invite a friend to share activity directly from your Apple Watch:
- Go to the Activity app on your Apple Watch. This is the app that tracks your Move, Exercise, and Stand rings.
- Tap Invite a Friend. You'll find this option within the Activity app.
- Turn the Digital Crown to scroll through your contacts. Navigate your list of contacts using the side dial.
- Tap a name. Select the friend you want to invite to share activity with you.
An invitation will be sent to your friend. Once they accept, you'll be able to see each other's daily activity progress.
Getting Started with Fitness Sharing
If you've never shared activity before, the reference suggests consulting the iPhone User Guide for initial setup details. The process typically involves setting up sharing for the first time on your iPhone before you can easily invite friends from your watch.
What You Can Share
When you share activity, you can see:
- Move, Exercise, and Stand ring progress
- Workouts logged
- Notifications when friends complete rings or workouts
Tips for Sharing
- Stay Motivated: Seeing friends' progress can encourage you to meet your own goals.
