App update · 4.5.1
first10steps — friend challenges and better workout controls
first10steps 4.5.1 is available on the App Store. The update adds more ways to move with friends and improves the everyday details of tracking, finishing, and reviewing workouts on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Challenge friends, together or at different times
Sign in with Apple to invite friends, create groups of up to 50 people, and take part in challenges. Race live or on your own schedule, with pace, distance, and ahead-or-behind cues during the challenge. Automatic daily step sharing is available with the people you choose.
Three free challenge days, then one purchase
Your first successful challenge creation or join starts three free challenge days. After that, a one-time $4.99 purchase in the US unlocks future challenges. There is no subscription or automatic charge, and basic step sharing stays free.
Settings → Purchases shows your challenge access and provides purchase, restore, and Apple refund-request options. Prices in other regions are shown by the App Store.
More control when a workout ends
On both iPhone and Apple Watch, finishing a workout now asks whether to Save, Discard, or Keep going. Strength-workout progress also survives the app closing.
Training plans count runs from Apple Watch, free runs, and imported runs. Pace advice follows the target for the individual run, and you can choose which day to schedule your long run.
Better Health access and workout records
Health controls open Apple’s permission sheet when the system allows it and explain when a change needs to happen in the Health app. Steps-only access can now import steps, and rides save their distance.
Weigh-ins can be deleted, and unusual values ask for confirmation before saving. Recaps and Year in Review now include strength sessions, walks, and rides.
Sharing and account controls
Social features use an optional account. You choose who receives your shared steps, and social profiles, shared steps, and challenge activity are stored on our servers under your account ID. Account and server-data deletion are available in the app, with an option to remove local data too. Apple Health and Apple purchase records have their own controls.
Notifications now show their actual permission state and request access when you turn them on. This release also improves Apple sign-in, translations, and reliability throughout the app.
