While the service has still not made its arrival in France, Apple continues to unveil new features for Apple Fitness +, the latest service from the Apple brand, presented last fall at the same time as the Apple Watch Series 6 and SE.
Within the latest beta of iOS 14, a novelty has appeared with regard to the nascent sports service. Indeed, the latter is now compatible with AirPlay 2 which means that it is possible to display a sports course directly on a television if the latter is connected to the phone or to the iPad which is the original source.
This feature is especially useful for people who subscribe to Fitness + but do not have Apple TV in their home. Indeed, the Apple box alone contains its own version of the service which can be accessed if you have subscribed to an offer on your iPhone or iPad, the Fitness + account works with all devices linked to an Apple ID. unique.
But for people who don’t have an Apple TV, the Apple update is coming perfectly fine. While the service had made its arrival in the last month in the United States, it was difficult to imagine taking his sports lessons only from the small screen of his iPad or iPhone.
A necessary update, but imperfect
In these periods when teleworking and confinement are still current all over the four corners of the world, the support for AirPlay 2 will be able to facilitate the use of Apple’s sports service.
The only downside in this new feature set up by the Cupertino company, the additional information will not be shown on the screen. With Apple Fitness + it is indeed possible to follow sport classes remotely, but also to have direct training information (heart rate, calories burned, duration of training) in real time at the top right of the screen.
But this precious information will not make the jump from the phone or the apple tablet to your television, you will have to be content to take a small glance at the first screen or on your connected watch to have access to this information.
