Apple Unveils watchOS 7: Handwashing Detection, Sleep Tracking, and More
Apple's latest watchOS 7 brings a wealth of new features to the Apple Watch. Highlights include automatic handwashing detection, sleep tracking, and enhanced mobility metrics in the Health app.
watchOS 7 introduces several exciting updates. Users can now enjoy cycling directions directly on their wrist, thanks to the new feature in the Maps app. The Shortcuts app, previously only available on iPhone and iPad, has made its way to the Apple Watch, allowing users to automate tasks more conveniently.
The Health app gains new mobility metrics, such as low-range cardio fitness, walking speed, and stair-descent speed. These additions help users better understand their physical fitness and mobility over time. Developers can now create more dynamic watch faces with the introduction of SwiftUI for complications.
One of the standout features in watchOS 7 is the automatic handwashing detection. Led by Apple's Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Williams, this feature uses motion sensors and microphones to detect when users are washing their hands and provides a countdown timer to ensure a thorough wash. This innovation is particularly timely and useful in light of the current global health situation.
Other notable features include Siri's new language translation capability, allowing users to translate languages conveniently from their wrist. Apple Watch users can also now have Siri announce incoming messages, making it easier to stay connected on the go. Additionally, watchOS 7 introduces watch face sharing, allowing users to discover and share new watch face configurations with friends and family.
With watchOS 7, Apple continues to push the boundaries of what a wearable device can do. From enhanced health and fitness tracking to practical everyday features like automatic handwashing detection and language translation, the Apple Watch becomes even more indispensable with this latest update.
