Apple encourages smack talk with Activity app update (CNET News)

2016-06-13
so with watch OS we're introducing activity sharing and it couldn't be simpler all you have to do is swipe to the right of your own activity rings and there you will see your selected family and friends rings as well now you can sort by whatever metric is most important to you so you can sort by step so you can sort by workouts you can even sort by exercise minutes here you'll see that I've sorted by the move ring and I'm right where you'd expect me to be I'm getting my butt kicked by Stacy but I'm a Niall 18 Jeff which makes me very happy if you want to see more details all you do is tap on anyone on your activity list and you'll get an up close look at their activity rings but you can also see things like their daily step count and their workouts even from third parties but one of my favorite features is that you can communicate directly with the people that you're sharing activity with right in the activity app through messages and when you do you'll get smart replies that are geared around fitness and activity some are supportive some are a little more competitive but you can also do some fun things for example at the end of a workout you could send your racing heart rate to one of your activity friends or your racing heart rate to one of your activity friends or you can also send smack-talk in your own voice right through audio messages so we think this is going to be a great way for you and your friends to stay motivated to keep each other active and we can't wait for you to try it
