The History tab lets you browse your daily step records over time using a calendar view or chronological list.

Calendar View

History calendar view

History calendar view showing daily goal completion

Each day shows your step count and a color for how close you came to your goal:
  • Goal met - Highlighted in your completed theme color
  • Partial progress - Lighter shade based on percentage completed
  • No data - No highlight
Workout icons sit under the step count for days you trained. Future days are marked so they don’t look like empty history. Navigate between months using the arrow buttons at the top of the calendar. On an unfolded iPhone Duo, the History column beside Home can show a week or a month.

List View

Month Navigation

Use the month navigation controls to jump between months. Each month shows a summary of your activity for that period.

History Limits

Upgrade to Steps Pro to browse your complete step history beyond the last 3 months.

Switching Views

On iOS 26 and earlier, use the menu button in the top-right corner to switch between the two layouts:
  • Calendar - Month-by-month grid with daily step counts, goal colors, and workout icons
  • List - Chronological list of your daily records
On iOS 27, History is the calendar only. A list preference from an older release is kept if you go back, but it isn’t shown.
