Little Walks helps you work toward 10,000 steps by the time you choose, using your steps from Apple Health. Find your pace See your steps, goal and pace in one place. Day, Week, Month and Year progress rings put your daily walk in context. Open a period for its totals and pace details, turn on optional walking reminders, and celebrate reaching 10,000 steps. Walk solo or together Turn on step sharing to join worldwide Solo rankings or walk with a team. Switch between your groups, compare day, week, month and year standings, and browse previous rounds. Time differences beside other walkers add context, and yesterday’s world-ranking recap helps you see where you placed when results are available. Watch your progress grow Rewards starts with your longest streak of 10,000-step days. Collect growing 3D awards for streaks and first-place competition finishes, then open an award to explore it and see its dates. Keep progress close Use Apple Watch for personal progress and today’s rankings synced from your iPhone. Home Screen widgets and Watch face complications give you another way to check your progress.
