Friends Daily/Weekly Step Count on App and graph

I think a welcomed addition to the friends profile across all apps would be the ability to see a friend's daily step count.  This would be useful when "chasing" a friend down.  Smiley Happy

 

Other user data such as, distance, active minutes, pictures and other information that person has set to share with friends would be nice as well.

 

Idealy the user would be able to slide through previous days like you can on your personal dashboard view

I agree would love to have daily challenges. Makes much more sense to me

There needs to be more information on your friends profile, at the moment all it shows is how many steps they do, and I don't know about anyone else but it's not really relevant. It should show more like how many calories they have burned, how much water they have drank, if they have lost or put on any weight. It would be so much better to track your friends progress

Please add this feature to see a friends daily stats. Weekly means nothing when one day could be 200 steps and another day 20,000.

Let's please share daily steps, that's much more competitive and engaging for those trying to keep fit ON THE DAILY.

Similar has been posted but this is an easy and highly requested feature.

See friends daily steps and stats not just 7-day!

I realize there are many suggestions going back 2013 on this however it Has not been addressed I just converted to fit bit from the up band  and I am very disappointed in this frature not being available  I like the up  band apps much better and if I knew this I would not have purchased.  I wish I did my research not thoroughly. Although I never imagined this wouldn't be a option

This the one feature I miss from my Jawbone UP. It seems like a no-brainer. Please add the ability to share your daily step progress to your friends via the app.

It can't be done now apparently but perhaps at some point in the future - I would like to be able to taunt or cheer a friend throughout the day if they are not moving very much or if they are doing really well.  The only steps I see are on a weekly basis.

I would like for my friends and me to see how many steps we walked daily instead of 7 days.  We want to see how it's going daily and encourage daily.  I think it would give that extra push to come onto the friend page and see that I already had 7000 steps in for the day and then she would give it an extra boost to get going.

emmm its ok but it should be an option to select your feed how it will be shown .. otherwise some users will not be happy to get too much close to them on daily basis ..

Maybe each usr should also be able to chose how much they want to see. So I can choose if I want to see daily step counts from my friends, or if don't want to see it.

You can do that by starting a challenge.  👍   The one you want is called "daily showdown" then invite  friends.

You can do this by starting a daily showdown and invite your friends.

you can see their daily steps any time of the day by just going to the web site. Not the apps. They also in turn have to not have their

steps hidden from public view. Nor you.  

Hope this helped you. If not I will try and explain it a little better. Or someone else can explain it.

I don't have premium on the web site ..

Thank you vle045 but I don't really want to start a challenge every single day.  I just want to go to her page and see how many steps she has done today.  It has the 7-day of steps figure but just daily would be much better.  She also feels the same.  Just a quick glance at how many so far today would be nice.

Thank you, JerriAnn.  My sister uses an app on her Galaxy as she does not have a computer.  I can get hers by clicking on this site here and there but they could just post it where they have the 7-day figure....easy and quicker.  She is the one that needs the push.  I walk 10,000 steps every day already.

Sorry hun, but you're just splitting hairs.  They HAVE the option that you are requesting.  It's just differently than you imagined, but it's there.  And it's actually better because each person can choose to opt in plus you get motivating messages throughout the day.  If you haven't tried it, you should.  It's actually very cool

My sister has the Galaxy and cannot do as you suggested.  I don't care to play all these cute games.  This is just between me and my sister.  I don't want to bother everyone with our little competing.  I wasn't intending to bother everyone but just making a suggestion basically for her.  It was a visual for her...that is all.  She sees how many I have walked for 7 days but writing it down early in the morning and then doing the math at the end of the day to see how many steps is aggravating.  The software would do it quicker.  It was just a suggestion.  Not a thing for anyone to worry about.  I am addicted to getting the 10,000 steps each day and gave her a Fitbit but getting her motivated was my plan.  I don't need all these little badges and such but I do not mean to offend anyone.

I go on my home computer and downloaded the Web site. It gives you alot more options to see. Again don't just do the apps. Just a suggestion.JerriS

I can also use my computer but she only uses a Galaxy tablet.  It doesn't help her at all.  She does not have a computer.  Thank you for the suggestion, however.  I know I walk the 10,000 steps but I'd like her to see it.  I gave her the Fitbit but I was trying to give her a push.

Fitbits accommodate several different types of exercises.  How come they don't accommodate a rowing machine?  I have noticed other people wondering the same thing. Is this something that might be added in a future update ? It would be very beneficial !!

I would like to be able to see my friends daily steps. Friendly competition it much more fun if you know how many steps you need to do to catch your friends or visa versa!

All you need to do is go to your friends public profile page, but you'll only be able to see todays steps of theirs.

Also before posting please do a search instead of making a duplicate tequest.

I agree with Barbara. I (and my group of friends) would like to be able to simply select the 'Friends' tab and see 1day step totals instead of/in addition to 7 day total....without needing to create a daily challenge. I hope this can be accomodated in a future update.

It might not be as convenient as you want, but you have always been able to view your friends steps for today @BarbaraH.

Go to your list of friends at www.fitbit.com/friends tap on any friend, this will take you to their profile where you can see their daily step history for the last 30 days.
