The WWDC 2022 was full of exciting releases and some surprises as well, and when Apple announced the iOS 16, one of the best things that the company announced is that the famous Fitness app is finally going standalone. For those who do know, in the past, you would need to have an Apple Watch in order to fully utilize the Fitness app. However, this is no longer needed, because with iOS 16, the app will be included on every iPhone and users will be able to use it without having an Apple Watch at hand.

Now, of course, the support will not be the same as you would get when you are using the Fitness app with an iPhone but it is still close enough. For those wondering, the app will use your iPhone's motion sensors to track things like steps, a feature that we have seen in a lot of phones in the past. Everything that your iPhone will track can be put toward closing your rigs, and it definitely is a big change for the app itself.
