What's New in VitalTiles
1.8
October 5, 2026
New in this version: • The app now genuinely speaks English. Previously the buttons were translated but the content was not: the tips, the explanation behind every metric, the coach and the insights all stayed Dutch. Over a thousand texts have now been translated. • Siri. Ask for today's reading, how you are doing, or what matters now — without opening the app. • A Control Center button with today's steps, where the fill of the button shows your progress towards your goal. iOS 18 and later. • The widgets now know when they matter. In the Smart Stack, VitalTiles comes forward when you are close to your goal and the day is running out, in the morning for your sleep figures, and at the top when there is a health signal. • Workouts. If you cycle, swim or lift, you saw little of it: that effort was hidden inside exercise minutes. One card under movement adds up this week's workouts by type, with the WHO's 150 minutes a week as a reference point. • Wheelchair. If you use a wheelchair, VitalTiles now counts pushes and wheelchair distance instead of steps — just as Health does. Previously it showed zero steps every day. Goal advice is deliberately withheld there: the research behind it is about steps, and no such figures exist for pushes. • The doctor's report can now run from your previous appointment instead of over a round month or three. That is usually exactly the window a doctor asks about. Improved: • The Home Screen widget could stay empty. It now cuts off the fetch itself and falls back to the last known reading. That reading was also being wiped by a failed attempt — that is fixed too. • The tile now stays filled. If Health has nothing for today yet — just after midnight, or when the fetch fails — the last figures remain, labelled "yesterday" or with the date. Previously you got a dash. • The app could wrongly assume it had already asked for Health access, and then never ask again. This could happen after restoring from a backup: the app would not even appear under apps in Health, and everything stayed empty. It now asks Health itself. • The widget and the iMessage app asked for Health access with the wrong reason — they mentioned the watch face while they read for your Home Screen and for Messages. • The widgets on your Home Screen belong to Plus. That was already the case, but it was stated nowhere — the app even promised the opposite. It is now in the right places. If a newer version is waiting, a locked tile says so first: sometimes updating is the fix, not a subscription.
