WaterMinder iOS 18 Update: What’s New in Version 6.6

With iOS 18 on the horizon, WaterMinder has rolled out its latest update, version 6.6, packed with features that make staying hydrated easier and more seamless than ever. Whether you’re already a fan or a new user, this update enhances your hydration tracking experience in simple, intuitive ways. Let us check into the key features and improvements.

1. Fresh App Icons and Themes

One of the most noticeable updates is the support for dark and tinted themes in iOS 18. Dark mode not only looks sleek, but it’s also easier on the eyes, perfect for night-time log entries or quick checks on your hydration progress. The tinted themes give the app a personalized and refreshing touch, aligning with Apple’s new aesthetic in iOS 18.

2. New Control Widgets for Quick Access

Widgets are getting smarter and more interactive with iOS 18, and WaterMinder has taken full advantage of this. There are several new Control Widgets available:

Log Cup Widget: Easily configure and log your cups directly from a widget. With a single tap, the app will log your intake instantly.

Log Drink Widget: This gives you quick access to log different types of drinks, from coffee to juice, via the “Other Drink” sheet.

Open History & Challenge Widgets: Quickly view your hydration history or check on your challenge progress.

These widgets make tracking hydration more effortless, offering shortcuts for actions that typically require multiple steps.

3. App Shortcuts for Better Customization

WaterMinder now supports new App Shortcuts, giving you more control over your data and experience:

Export Data as CSV: This is a handy feature for users who want to share or save their hydration logs. You can now export all your data in a CSV file using app shortcut, which can be emailed or saved to the Files app.

Challenge Progress Image: Want to show off your hydration streak?, We know you want to! So, now you can quickly create an image displaying your challenge progress, which is shareable on social media or with friends and family.

Hydration Goal Shortcut: Instantly retrieve your hydration goal setup, giving users more insight into their targets.

Hydration Summary: You’ll get detailed summaries of your hydration habits, whether daily, weekly, or yearly. These summaries can be customized to show specific time periods.

These new shortcuts make the app more flexible and allow users to interact with their data in more meaningful ways.

4. Key Improvements to User Experience

WaterMinder’s iOS 18 update doesn’t stop at shortcuts and widgets, it also brings some great quality-of-life improvements:

Open Challenges with Zoom Animation: A more polished visual experience makes opening challenges visually appealing.

Onboarding Animation Improvements: New users will find the app’s introductory animations smoother, enhancing the first-time user experience.

Launch Improvements: Faster launch times make for a snappier app.

5. Apple Watch Updates

For those using WaterMinder on their Apple Watch, interactive widgets have been introduced. These allow you to track your hydration and view your log history without even needing to open the app on your Watch. The convenience of this update makes logging on the go even simpler, helping you stay consistent with your hydration goals.
