Although most of the attention was focused on the iPhone 16, this was not the only device that Apple unveiled in early September. As usual, the American company took advantage of the announcement of its new flagship to reveal new information about the Apple Watch 10 lineup, the series of smartwatches from the company. Along with it, Apple also introduced new features of watchOS 11, the operating system of these devices which included a major update: the Vitals app.
As confirmed by Apple, the initial function of this app is to detect changes in users’ bodies before they get sick. Many believed this maneuver wouldn’t have much success due to its complexity, but Android Authority mentions in a recent publication that some users have already reported their Apple Watch alerting them of changes in their body temperature before falling ill. Thanks to this, they were able to prepare in advance and have everything they needed at hand.
An extremely important alert
According to various users, the Apple Watch notified them that their body temperature had changed up to three days before getting sick. In fact, some claim it alerted them of potential health issues even before they felt any symptoms. However, these alerts weren’t always as early, as some report receiving them shortly before symptoms manifested.
In this way, the Vitals app, now available on both the Apple Watch and the Health app on the iPhone, displays metrics such as heart rate, breathing, wrist temperature, and sleep duration. However, the measurement of blood oxygen is not available on some units sold in regions like the United States, due to an ongoing legal dispute. Additionally, wrist temperature measurement is only available starting from the Apple Watch Series 8.
