iOS: How to Compare Past Changes in Your Move Goal


Within the Activity app on your iPhone, there’s a way that you can see how your move goal has changed over time and compare how well you’ve mastered it. Here’s the trick: Open up that app to get started…

When you do that, a little sidebar will open with your move goal for that week.

If you adjusted your goal during that time frame, you’ll be able to see at a glance how much it changed (and how well you did in meeting it!).
