Apple WatchOS 7 is coming with a number of scintiliating features. The software also is going to have a significant upgrade. The same was announced at the WWDC 2020 (Worldwide Developers Conference). Some of the new features include Sleep Monitoring. This is a very useful feature added to Apple's compressive health tracking system. This feature was missing from Apple's trademark watch which was giving an edge to its rivals including Fitbit. But not anymore.
A public beta of this new app is launched this month. The complete version shall be released in September this year. Of course, the battery will have to bear this addtional burden. Addition of sleep tracking in WatchOS 7 will definitely demand a longer battery life to accommodate this new feature smartly. Probably the next Apple Watch Series 6 will be taking care of it.
Kevin Lynch, Vice President - Technology, Apple admits this was a long pending feature that Apple Watch customers were looking for. This is, in fact, one of the most exciting app amongs the new features of WatchOS 7. With it, you can set a goal for a night's sleep. It keeps a track of that. Once that is completed, the Wind Down feature automatically eliminates notifications from your phone when bedtime is close. The feature, that way, he;ps you focus on getting your eyelids closed with the help of meditation software. Subtle alarm to your ears and a refreshing good morning message on the screen will wake you up in the morning.
Apple's health app development manager, Vera Carr says, “Once you're up, you'll see a friendly greeting easing you into the day. [The screen] also shows your battery level, so you can remember to charge in the morning.”
Apple is also working on a new wellness app. Besides tracking progress that already exists, the new app will guide you for appropriate workouts and a number of activities.
Another interesting feature is automatically detecting hand washing and starting a 20-second timer. That is quite an interesting feature in the new Apple Watch. Your Apple Watch will keep an eye on your hand washing process. If it notices you finish washing your hands early, it will alarm you to continue for the full 20 seconds. In addition, Apple Watch will also remind you to wash your hands when you get home and other similar incidences.
Apple WatchOS 7 beta for Apple registered developers is available right now. For the public, the beta version will release next month. The software update will cover all users running an Apple Watch Series 3 or newer. This software update will get released in the coming fall.
