Original release notes
Write your own reminders. Every goal reminder can now be rewritten in your own words — the nudge when you're behind, the note when you're ahead, the cheer when you reach your goal. Placeholders fill in your numbers, and sections with several messages rotate so the nudges don't repeat. Where Apple Intelligence is available, you can also describe a voice — a sports coach, a witty friend — and have your messages restyled. Also in this update • Share a photo style as a card; opening it in Steps recreates the style • Ask Siri or Shortcuts for your steps over a day, week, month or year Steps Widget is made by one person, and I read everything that comes in. If something isn't working, or there's a widget style or a feature you wish existed, there's a way to reach me in Settings under About.
