If you don’t own an Apple Watch, you can set a daily move goal using your iPhone to track your progress toward reaching the goal. The updated Fitness app is targeted towards fitness enthusiasts and will prove highly productive for people who don’t have an Apple Watch or any other activity tracker.

The iOS 16 Fitness app looks almost similar to the Fitness app available to Apple Watch owners. However, it does not include a Fitness+ tab, as that feature is restricted to the Apple Watch. The Stand and Exercise rings features are also missing on the updated app.
