Apple Announces Apple Watch Activity Challenge for International Day of Yoga

Users who record a 10-minute yoga session will unlock a Fitness app award plus animated stickers for Messages.

Overview

  • Apple announced a one-day Activity Challenge that will run on Sunday, June 21 and asks Apple Watch users to record a yoga workout of at least 10 minutes to qualify.
  • Workouts qualify when they are logged as the yoga type in the Apple Watch Workout app or when a third-party app writes yoga workout data to the Apple Health database.
  • Participants who complete the requirement will receive a badge in the Fitness app and a set of animated yoga stickers for the Messages app to share.
  • This challenge continues Apple’s pattern of short, date-specific engagement events since 2024 that tie Watch workout tracking to in-app rewards and social sharing.
  • Apple Fitness+ offers guided yoga sessions and a one-month free trial for new users, which outlets note as a convenient option for people who want help finishing the 10-minute requirement.
