Share your activity from Apple Watch
Keep your fitness routine on track by sharing your activity with your family and friends—you can even share with a trainer or coach. You get notifications when your friends meet their goals, finish workouts, and earn achievements.
Add or remove a friend
Open the Activity app on your iPhone.
Tap Sharing, tap Get Started, then tap in the top-right corner.
Enter your friend’s name, then tap Send.
After your friend accepts your invitation, you can see their activity and they can see yours.
To remove a friend, open the Activity app on your iPhone, tap Sharing, tap a friend, then tap Remove Friend.
Check your friends’ progress
Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
Swipe left, then turn the Digital Crown to scroll your friends list.
Tap friends to see their stats for the day.
Keep your friends motivated
Send your friends an encouraging message.
Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
Swipe left, then turn the Digital Crown to scroll to the bottom.
Tap “Send message to all,” then compose your message.
If you want to send a message to a specific friend, tap the friend in your friends list, scroll to the bottom, then tap Send Message.
Compete with your friends
Stay motivated with a little healthy competition. You can challenge a friend to a competition in which you earn points based on the percentage of your Activity Rings that you close. You get a point for every percent you add to your rings each day. The competition lasts 7 days and you can earn up to 600 points a day for a maximum of 4,200 points for the week. The person with the most points at the end of the competition wins. During a competition, alerts tell you if you’re ahead of or falling behind your competitor—along with the score.
Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
Swipe left, tap a friend, then tap Compete.
Tap Invite, then wait for your friend to accept.
Or, when you receive an Activity sharing notification—your friend just closed their rings or doubled their move goal, for example—you can scroll down and tap Compete.
You can also open the Activity app on your iPhone, tap Sharing, tap a friend, then tap Compete with [your friend’s name].

Mute notifications for the friend: Tap Mute Notifications.
Hide your activity from the friend: Tap Hide my Activity.
Remove the friend: Tap Remove Friend.
