The iOS 18 Fitness app just got a lot better — here’s how

Daily Move Goal in the Fitness app of an iPhone 14 running iOS 18.

The Fitness app has been a welcome addition to the iPhone since it arrived a couple iOS updates ago, as it allows you to track your steps and activity from your phone without having to also buy an Apple Watch. It's one of my most frequently visited apps, since Fitness has become a central driver behind my own goals of getting healthier and moving more.

There is one flaw to the Fitness approach, though — it's not very flexible. Once you set your daily Move goal, that's your target for every day of the week. The Fitness app doesn't care about rest days or that some days include more free time for exercise — fail to meet your one locked-in Move goal on any day, and that's the end of your streak.
