Comment: Activity Sharing in iOS 10 and watchOS 3 is Apple ‘social’ done right

<p>Apple is known to be notoriously bad at social — look no further than <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2012/09/12/ping-is-over-on-september-30th-apple-no-longer-accepting-new-members/" target="_blank">Ping[/url], a social feature embedded in iTunes that Tim Cook <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2012/05/29/cook-apple-considering-killing-off-ping-admits-it-has-to-be-more-social/" target="_blank">killed[/url] because no one used it. That’s fine for the most part because Apple makes the platform (iOS) where the best social network apps (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.) exist and people continue buying iPhones.</p>
<p>Apple isn’t completely socially awkward either. Music lets you tweet and post playlists, Photos lets you share Photo Streams with contacts and on the web, and iOS share sheets facilitate the majority of my social sharing. It’s Apple’s new Activity Sharing feature that I’ve been enjoying the most since <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/13/ios-10-new-features/" target="_blank">iOS 10[/url] and <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/13/everything-new-in-watchos-3/" target="_blank">watchOS 3 [/url]were introduced.</p>
<p>Activity Sharing lets you automatically share fitness data captured from the Apple Watch with other Apple Watch wearers. Adding a social aspect to activity tracking is especially motivational for staying active and shows Apple doing social right (even if Activity Sharing has opportunities to improve).</p>
