Does Apple Health have a Wrapped or Year in Review?

Apple Health does not have a built-in Wrapped or Year in Review feature. Fitness Wrapped adds shareable stories, weekly and monthly matchups, and private progress views from Apple Health data.

Do I need an Apple Watch to use Fitness Wrapped?

No. Apple Watch is optional. Fitness Wrapped works with Apple Health data from iPhone and compatible apps or connected devices, as long as the data syncs to Apple Health and you grant permission.

Is Fitness Wrapped free?

Yes. Fitness Wrapped is free to download. Pro unlocks more stories, full history, widgets, themes, goal tools, and unlimited matchups.

Is my health data private?

Your Apple Health history is read with your permission. Matchups only use the summary stats needed for that competition, and only matchup participants can see them.

How to Compare Your 2025 vs 2026 Fitness Stats on Apple Watch

Why Year-Over-Year Analysis Matters

Daily rings are great for immediate motivation, but they hide the big picture. Year-over-year (YoY) analysis reveals the truth about your fitness journey:

Identify Seasonal Dips: Did your activity drop last February? Plan ahead this year.
Measure Real Growth: Are you working out more often now than you were 12 months ago?
Plateau Detection: If your stats are identical to 2025, it might be time to increase your intensity.

How to View 2025 Data

Apple Health stores all your data, but viewing it in a useful way can be tricky.

Using Apple Fitness

In the Fitness app, you can scroll back through your history in the "Summary" tab. While this gives you a daily view, it's hard to get a "total year" perspective without significant manual effort.

Using Fitness Wrapped

Fitness Wrapped automatically aggregates your entire history. To view your 2025 data, simply tap the date header at the top of the screen and select "2025". You can then dive into specific months or view the full year's total. For a highlighted comparison of your progress, check out your "Yearly Wrapped" story which specifically showcases your year-over-year growth.

Identifying Long-Term Trends

When comparing 2025 to 2026, look for these three key indicators:

Frequency

Are you hitting your target number of workouts per week more consistently than last year?

Variety

Is your activity mix better? (e.g., adding strength training to your 2025 cardio routine).

Duration

Is your average workout length increasing, or are you just doing short 'ring-fillers'?

Adjusting 2026 Goals

Don't just copy your 2025 goals. Use your data to build a better 2026:

If you 100% met your 2025 goals: Increase your target frequency by 10%.
If you struggled in Q4: Set smaller, more achievable monthly goals for the end of 2026.
If you only did one workout type: Set a goal to try 2 new activities every month.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I see my 2025 vs 2026 fitness stats side-by-side?

For a direct year-over-year comparison, use the 'Yearly Wrapped' feature. This generates a special story that highlights your biggest changes, total activity improvements, and key milestones compared to 2025. For general viewing, you can easily toggle between years using the time header.

What metrics are best for comparing year-over-year progress?

Focus on 'Workout Frequency' (how many sessions per month) and 'Average Active Minutes.' These show consistency and intensity changes better than raw calories, which can vary wildly based on workout type.

Can I compare specific months from 2025 to 2026?

Yes! While you can't view them side-by-side in the same summary view, Fitness Wrapped aggregates all your historical data. Simply tap the date header to navigate back to 'February 2025' to see your stats for that month, then compare them to your current performance.

Why should I bother comparing past years?

Comparing historical data helps identify seasonal patterns (e.g., being less active in winter) and ensures you are making actual progress rather than just plateauing at the same level of activity.
