Walks and Apple Health

A timed walk

1. Care → "Walks" → "Start walk".
2. The timer shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
3. To finish, tap "Stop" on the Lock Screen, "Stop & save" in the Dynamic Island, or "Stop walk now" in Puffy.

• "Start walk" only appears if Live Activities are allowed for Puffy. Turn them on under Puffy in iOS Settings.
• Walks from 5 minutes are saved. A shorter walk isn't saved.
• If you forget to stop the timer, it stops by itself after 3 hours and the walk is saved. Puffy sends a notification.
• No connection? The walk waits on your iPhone and is sent when you're back online. If saving fails, tap "Retry saving walk" before starting a new walk.

A walk without a timer

Care → "Walks" → "Log walk". The walk is logged at the current time.

A planned walk

On Care, the "Next walk" card → "Plan walk" → choose the date and time. Puffy reminds you 30 minutes before and at the planned time. Planned walks are kept on this iPhone only.

Apple Health

The first time you tap "Walks", Puffy offers "Sync walks from Apple Health": tap "Connect" or "Skip for now".

• What we read: Walking and Running workouts of 1 minute or more, including from Apple Watch. They become your dog's walks.
• What we write: only walks started with "Start walk", saved as a Walking workout. Walks logged with "Log walk" aren't sent to Apple Health.

If you don't allow access, everything else in Puffy works as usual. If saving to Health is off, Puffy shows "Saving to Apple Health is off" with "Open Settings". To change access later, open the Health app, tap your profile picture → Apps → Puffy.
