What's New in Verve
1.5.3
August 18, 2026
• YOUR MINUTES STOP MOVING. Your Zone 2 range is calculated from your resting heart rate, which Apple Health recalculates as it learns more about you. When it shifted, every past workout was quietly re-measured against the new range — so Monday's 40 minutes could read 39 on Tuesday. Each session is now scored against the range that applied when you did it. A finished day is finished. • Background movement is no longer recalculated for days that have ended, and a workout's heart-rate detail is recorded once rather than replaced on every sync. The weekly climb, renamed and extended: • BASE CAMP (150 min) · your goal · HIGH CAMP (300 min) · SUMMIT (610 min). • The summit is new. Research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2026) followed 17,088 people wearing activity trackers: 560–610 minutes a week was associated with over 30% lower risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and atrial fibrillation — against 8–9% at the familiar 150. It appears once you pass high camp, so a typical week still fills the chart. • The lines no longer carry organisation names, because those published targets count vigorous activity twice and Verve counts your minutes as measured. Same numbers, honestly labelled. Clearer throughout: • The card is now "Aerobic Activity This Week" — which is all it ever showed. • Tap ⓘ for one panel with this week's breakdown at the top and the explanations folded beneath, instead of a long scroll that pushed the card off screen. • Weekly figures read in minutes and monthly in hours, so the Trends tab agrees with the Activity tab. • NEW SETTING — Activity Units. Choose minutes or MET-hours. It existed but was unreachable; now it's in Settings and applies across Trends. Also: • Two years of Apple Health history imported on first sync, up from three months, with heart-rate detail filled in for the whole of it. • Training by Year — a full breakdown of volume and intensity per year. • Password reset works. The link previously opened the app on a "page not found" screen, leaving no way back into an account. • Distance and calories on the Expedition Ledger now say they cover your whole day, not just your workouts.
