Simple is introducing new social and gamification features to help you stay motivated by seeing your activity in a broader context—and connecting with others on a similar journey. These features are designed to add encouragement and accountability, while keeping you fully in control of your privacy.
What’s New?
Until now, Simple focused entirely on individual progress. There was no built-in way to:
See your activity compared with others
Invite or follow friends inside the app
Receive lightweight social feedback that reinforces healthy habits
With the new Team tab, you can now explore social motivation—while staying fully in control of your privacy.
Please note that the teams Feature is currently available to new iOS users only. If you don’t see the Teams tab in your app, please reach out to our Support team for assistance.
The Team Tab
A new Team tab now appears between the Track and Explore tabs.
From the Team tab, you can view your Social Profile, Feed and My Team options.
Your Profile
Your profile shows your activity and social information, depending on your privacy settings. From your profile, you can:
View your entire social profile
See your weekly step totals
View follower and following counts
Track your streaks
Add and follow friends
View your weekly steps progress in a graph
Share your profile
Edit your profile
Edit Profile
When you tap Edit Profile, you can:
View your username (used within the app)
View or edit your nickname
Toggle your profile public or private
Change your profile picture
2. Feed:
Here you can see posts published by the company, mainly from our Blog.
You can also see the option to Add friends
3. My Team:
This adds a friendly, motivational way to see how others in your team are moving. Here, you can view users in your team and see how many steps they completed in the last week,
Viewing Another User’s Profile
When you tap on another user, you can see their:
Name and Nickname
Join date
Weekly steps
Following and follower count
Streaks
A comparison graph showing daily walking distance (your steps vs. theirs)
From another user’s profile, you can:
Follow the user
Share their profile
Report or Block the user
Public vs. Private Accounts
You decide how much information you want to share.
Public Accounts
Public accounts enable participation in Teams and social features. The following information is visible to other users:
Username
Avatar
Handle
Activity indicators, including:
Streaks
XP
Step count
Followers and following counts
2. Private Accounts
Private accounts function the same way Simple always has:
No social or activity information is shared publicly
You can continue using the app without participating in Teams
You can switch between public and private profiles at any time. Just navigate to
Team → Profile → Edit → Is Public. Turning Is Public off makes your account private immediately.
Teams is designed to add optional motivation, not pressure. Whether you prefer to stay private or enjoy friendly comparison, Simple lets you choose how you engage.
You’re always free to focus on your own journey—or draw motivation from others, on your terms.
