Physically Challenged turns your workouts into a friendly competition between friends. Pick what counts, set the dates and the prize, and let Apple Health keep everyone honest. PICK THE CHALLENGE - Daily check-off: most days done wins. - Streak: miss a day and you're out. - Steps or distance: most over the challenge. - Cardio weeks: hit your days every week. - Weight loss: most lost by percent, with weigh-ins shared the way the group chooses: weight, pounds lost or percent only. - Custom: anything you can check off, like "no soda". Run it solo or in teams, for 1 to 26 weeks or with no end date. INVITE YOUR CREW Every challenge gets an invite code. Share it from the challenge, and friends enter it to join, up to 50 people. APPLE HEALTH KEEPS SCORE Set a real bar, like 45 minutes of cycling or 10,000 steps, and qualifying workouts, steps, distance and weigh-ins count on their own. Looser dares are one tap: "I did it." You can also check in with Siri without opening the app. Health access is read-only, and only your results and weigh-ins leave your phone. STANDINGS AND TRASH TALK Standings for every challenge, a feed of everyone's check-ins, typed trash talk and six reactions, from Fire to Props. A COACH WITH JOKES Pre-written roast lines show up under the standings and in the feed. Set your own roast level from 1 to 10. The top levels swear. PRIZES, NOT PAYMENTS Put up a prize, like "Loser buys lunch," or play for bragging rights. The app never holds or moves money. YOU'RE IN CONTROL Sign in with Apple. Report or block anyone, unblock from your Blocked list, and delete your account from Settings. Requires an iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
