Apple announced its Fitness app is coming to all iPhone users—without the need for an Apple Watch.
“The Fitness app is available to all iPhone users to help track and meet fitness goals, even if they don’t have an Apple Watch,” explains Apple.
“iPhone users can set up a daily Move goal in the Fitness app and see how their active calories will help close their Move ring. iPhone motion sensors can track steps, distance, flights climbed, and workouts from third-party apps, which can be converted into an estimation of active calories to contribute to users’ daily Move goal. Users can also share their Move ring with friends for additional motivation,” details the company.
