It can't do the running for you, but an Apple Watch is pretty good at motivating you to do it yourself. In the early days a lot of the motivation came from badges , but these days the social aspect has become more important. In this article we explain how to share your Apple Watch Activity data, and thereby reap the motivational benefits of not wanting to embarrass yourself in front of a mate. Why share Activity data? In watchOS 3, Apple introduced the option to share your Activity data with a friend. In watchOS 5 the company went one step further by allowing you to challenge a friend to a 7-day competition with a special badge for whoever gets the most Activity points in that time.

WhatsApp is set to bring in new terms of service from 8 February 2021, and the changes are significant. Furthermore there is no option to opt out; if you don't approve the new terms of use by that date, you simply won't be able to use WhatsApp. The first indications that WhatsApp was planning to change its terms of use - and insist that users agree to the changes - were there at the beginning of December 2020. But the details have become clearer: users must allow WhatsApp to share all of their data with all Facebook companies. Up to now, users have been able to opt out of this, but that's all set to change on 8 February. In the notification screen, users are referred to a page on the WhatsApp website . There it says, among other things: "Many businesses rely on WhatsApp to communicate with their customers and clients.
