''Part of the [[Using the iOS app|Loopa iOS app]] guide.''
The '''Water screen''' is your hydration tracker, a large intake ring and one-tap presets for logging fluids through the day. It's titled '''Water''' and opens from the Health hub's '''The Log''' section, from the [[The Quick-Log button|Quick-Log button]], or from the water card on [[Today's Page]]. See [[Water tracking]] and [[Using the iOS app]].
''General wellness tracking, not medical advice.''
== The intake ring ==
A large cyan ring at the top shows how many ounces you've had today against your daily goal (for example, "40 of 64 oz"). The ring fills as you log, and crossing your goal fires a one-time success buzz.
== Quick log presets ==
Under '''Quick Log''' are four tap chips, one each for '''+8''', '''+12''', '''+16''' and '''+24''' ounces. Tapping one adds that amount instantly: the ring moves right away and the total is saved in the background. If the save can't go through, the amount rolls back and a banner reads "Not logged. Tap a preset to retry." You can also add water without opening this screen. The [[The Quick-Log button|Quick-Log button]] carries an inline '''+8 oz''' pill. See [[Hydration]].
== Custom amount ==
Below the presets, a '''Custom''' stepper lets you dial in any number of ounces and tap '''Log It''' for amounts the presets don't cover.
== Undo and clear ==
Once you've logged anything today, two controls appear:
* '''Undo last''' removes your most recent addition. It's handled on the server, so it also undoes an amount you added on another device or on the web.
* '''Clear today''' wipes the day's water after a confirmation ("Strike today's water from the record?") that shows exactly how many ounces it will clear.
Each action confirms with a brief stamp ("Removed N oz", "Struck from the record"), or tells you there's "Nothing to undo".
== Drinks from your food diary ==
With '''Count all liquids''' switched on, drinks you log in your food diary count toward the same goal, and a '''What you drank''' breakdown groups them by kind (water, tea, coffee, milk, juice, soda, sports drinks).
'''A hydration challenge counts what this setting says counts.''' Switch it on and the coffee, tea and juice you log on this screen (and the drinks you log in your food diary) all score toward the challenge, exactly as they do toward your daily goal. Leave it off and only water scores. The figure on your dashboard and the figure on the leaderboard are the same figure.
A drink counts here when Loopa knows how much was in it. That size comes from the food database, from scanning its barcode, or from the serving you picked when you logged it.
== Not counted ==
Some drinks arrive without a size. If you log one by typing in its nutrition facts, the label gives calories and macros but usually not the volume of the bottle, so there is nothing to add to your total.
+ Those drinks are listed under '''Not counted''', together with the kind Loopa recognised ("Sports drink", "Tea", "Milk"). They stay out of your total deliberately: a bottle nobody measured would have to go in at a guessed number, and your total is what you make decisions from. Listing them shows you what was recognised as a drink and what was left out.
