Xiaomi has expanded the functionality of its Mi Band fitness trackers by adding the ability to share health data with friends and family members. Users can now share information about their physical activity, sleep, heart rate and other metrics through the Mi Fitness app. This function allows you to motivate each other and support the achievement of goals.

To activate data sharing, you need to go to the “Health” tab in the Mi Fitness application, select the “My friends” section, invite other users to become “My friends and family” and set the “General data” option. Among the indicators available for sharing are exercise details, heart rate, sleep patterns, blood pressure, number of steps, standing time, activity intensity, weight and blood oxygen saturation level.

The function has already started to spread, but it is not yet available to all users. In the near future, its support will gradually expand.
