Apple’s watchOS 7 brings us one of the features the people been wanting on their Apple Watch since the 1st one. We finally getting sleep-tracking – natively. So no more 3rd-party apps to pull it off.
Let’s dive into what its all about:
- Sleep-tracking is present and adds a bedtime + wake-up alarms utilizing its vibration motor.
- The Activity area goes to their new Fitness app and adds more exercises to track.
- The new Wind Down mode allows for snoozing notifications, setting Apple Music playlist, turning on a meditation apps, activating smart home presets, and more.
- They’re bringing over new complications to add one per app on a single watchface and customize it to make more detailed watchfaces. As well as the ability to share watchfaces.
- New cycling directions & fitness tracking for dance workouts.
- And to coincide w/ the Covid-19 pandemic going on right now, they added a new hand-washing detection system. It will detect when you start washing your hands using motion of both hands & the sound of running water w/ a countdown to let you know when to stop.
Like every other software update announced at WWDC 2020, its out now for developers and coming to the public next month via beta. It will arrive in the fall going back to the Apple Watch Series 3 as well as iPhone 6S running iOS 14 to support watchOS 7.
