Your personal step goal adapts to recent activity and can also be set manually. Sign in with Apple only when you choose to share steps by creating or joining a private team with a 6-digit invitation code. Compare today's steps and rankings, and encourage your team with 15 fixed reaction stamps. In Walking Journeys, add your team's steps to reach checkpoints and take on weekly goals based on your recent pace. Review step history, sync steps from Apple Watch, and check your team's ranking from your wrist. Privacy StepShare reads only daily step totals from HealthKit.
