How to Check Your Weekly Activity Summary on Apple Watch and iPhone

Both the Apple Watch and iPhone come with built-in fitness tracking features that use advanced sensors to monitor your activity and help you stay on top of your health goals. The best part? They don’t just log your movement; they give you a clear picture of your progress with the Weekly Activity Summary.

This summary shows whether you’ve been consistent with your Move, Exercise, and Stand goals over the past week, helping you spot trends and stay motivated.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through what the Weekly Activity Summary is, how to view it on Apple Watch and iPhone, and tips to make the most of it.

What is the Weekly Activity Summary?

The Weekly Activity Summary is a detailed 7-day report that highlights your fitness activity and goals. Think of it as your progress report for the week; it tells you if you’re smashing your goals or if you need to adjust your daily routine.

• Daily averages: A snapshot of average activity per day.
• Trends & achievements: Insights on where you’re improving or falling behind.

How to View Weekly Activity Summary on Apple Watch

One thing to note: your Apple Watch doesn’t permanently store old summaries. After Monday, the current week replaces the previous one. So, if you want to check last week’s data, you need to view it before the new week begins.

Here’s how to see your weekly activity on Apple Watch:

1. Open the Fitness app, and your Activity Rings for today will appear.
2. To view your weekly activity summary, tap the Graph icon at the top left corner.
   
3. Here, you can review your Move, Exercise, and Stand averages for the past week and whether you managed to beat your week’s daily goal.
   

Moreover, if you feel your goals are too easy or too hard, you can adjust your Move, Exercise, and Stand goals to better match your lifestyle.

Here’s how:

1. Scroll down to the bottom of your weekly activity summary.
2. Tap Change Goal.
   
3. Set your Move, Exercise, and Stand goals.
   

How to View Weekly Activity Summary on iPhone

Your iPhone goes beyond weekly insights; it stores long-term summaries in the Health app. That means you can review your activity for weeks, months, or even years.

Here’s how:

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on Activity on the Summary tab.
3. If the Activity tile isn’t available on the Summary tab, tap the Browse tab (iOS 18) or Magnifying Glass icon (iOS 26), then select Activity under Health Categories.
4. By default, the Health app will show you the activity summary for the present day. You can tap the Week, Month, 6 Months, or Year tab to view and analyze the corresponding activity summary graph.
   

Tip: Make sure your Apple Watch and iPhone are synced for accurate results.
