Apple Watch owners will enjoy new fitness features, designs, and messaging tricks soon
Apple says it has seen an increase in the number of people using the Breathe app. In response to that increased demand, Apple has updated the animations within the app and added the ability to “Reflect”, so you can take a moment to reconsider events in recent days. Since there’s more than just breathing exercises, the Breathe app has been rebranded to Mindfulness.
That’s not the only improvement when it comes to health features. Those who wear their Apple Watch to bed will now have their respiratory rate tracked. Like all markers tracked by Apple’s Health app, which is available on iPhone and iPad, longterm trends will be flagged when Apple has enough data to see whether your health is improving or not.
If you want to boost your fitness levels, there are new classes available on Apple Fitness+. Those without a subscription can track Pilates and Tai-chi from their wrist – workouts that haven’t been supported in previous versions of watchOS.
