I always receive those notifications and never opted in! Nice to know there's a toggle to disable those
Thanks!
Thanks!
Miraculously, I did a 30 minute yoga workout to see if it would pop up and it did. I guess at this point I have to keep checking this thread to find out the next challenge.
You (As well as I and everyone else) most definitely need to continuously check this thread, if it wasn't for this thread i wouldn't have known there was a Yoga achievement today!
That’s what I did, which is how I found out about the challenge. I still check in at least once a month since I like the thread.
I got the International Yoga medal, but it took a few days to show up on my phone.
Not July unless something new comes out - next usual will National Parks Challenge end of August beginning September.
This is last year😁
This is last year😁
Looks like the National Parks Challenge is August 28th: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/17/apple-watch-national-parks-activity-challenge-2/
I did what was required for the National Parks Challenge and I still didn’t get my reward. I’ve given up on Apple’s challenges.
There is no way to resolve the issue. The only way to know of upcoming challenges is by reading blog posts from macrumors and other tech outlets as they sometimes share about upcoming challenges as well or by simply following this thread here on macrumors.
Agree. Thats the way I've been finding them. Came to this post also hoping for some solution but will continue as before. When I run across one I put it into my calendar.
Veteran's Day Challenge is coming Nov 11th. Any 11 minute exercise will get you the badge. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/26/apple-watch-activity-challenge-veterans-day-2021/
I haven't seen any notices yet this year, but Apple typically does a Thanksgiving day Challenge (usually a 3.1 mile run, walk or wheelchair event). If it happens this year, it should be on The 25th. I'll post a link to confirmation if I ever see anything.
I completed the Veteran's challenge 2020 and 2021, but am not aware of a Thanksgiving challenge. Did it happen last year? I certainly wasn't notified.
It appears the 2021 Thanksgiving Day challenge is MIA this year. I’m gonna miss it!
Just wanted to give a heads up that I still haven't seen any reporting on a Thanksgiving challenge this year, and I didn't get a notification about it today (I usually get my challenge notifications when I wake up, the day prior to the event) so I'm guessing it's a no go. In looking into it, it seems that Apple had the challenge in 2016 & 2017, but not 2018, then again in 2019 & 2020, so perhaps, they have it on a 2 year on, 1 year off cycle.
There was a glitch in iOS in 2018. Apple had the Thanksgiving Day challenge and the Ring in the New Year challenge in the betas, but they didn’t make it to the iOS release.
I’m thinking that someone dropped the ball this year.
