“watchOS is the world’s most advanced wearable operating system,
supporting Apple Watch users throughout their day to stay healthy,
active, and connected,” said David Clark, Apple’s senior director
of watchOS Engineering. “This fall, watchOS 11 makes Apple Watch an
even more essential companion by offering users additional
actionable insights into their health and fitness, more
personalization to fit their unique needs, and new ways to stay
connected while on the go.”
The Vitals App Surfaces Greater Insights into Key Health
Metrics
Apple Watch allows users to measure important health metrics
during sleep: heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature,
sleep duration, and blood oxygen. With watchOS 11, the new Vitals
app gives users a way to quickly view these key health metrics and
gain better context when it comes to their health. Apple Watch
analyzes these metrics so users can now check in on their daily
health status and explore noteworthy metrics at a glance, and
easily see when they are out of a user’s typical range. When two or
more metrics are out of their typical range, users can receive a
notification, along with a message detailing how the changes in
these specific metrics may be linked to other aspects of their
life, such as elevation changes, alcohol consumption, or even
illness.
Apple’s health features are grounded in science and developed
with input from clinical experts. To inform out-of-range
classifications and notifications, Vitals uses an algorithm
developed using real-world data from the Apple Heart and Movement
Study, research that aims to advance the understanding of heart
health and physical activity.
Additional Support During Pregnancy
watchOS 11, iOS 18, and iPadOS® 18 offer additional support for
pregnant users to reflect changes in their physical and mental
health during this important time. When users log a pregnancy in
the Health app on iPhone or iPad, the Cycle Tracking app on Apple
Watch will show their gestational age and allow them to log
symptoms for things frequently experienced during pregnancy. They
will also be prompted to review things like their high heart rate
notification threshold, since heart rate tends to increase during
pregnancy.
In the Health app on iPhone or iPad, pregnant users can also
choose to be reminded to take a mental health assessment on a
monthly basis, as people can be at a higher risk for conditions
like depression during and after pregnancy. Walking Steadiness,
measured by iPhone, can also alert users more quickly of potential
fall risk during the third trimester of pregnancy, since the risk
often increases during that stage.
A Powerful New Understanding of Training Load
watchOS 11 introduces training load, an insightful new way to
measure how the intensity and duration of workouts is impacting a
user’s body over time. Training load helps users understand the
strain on their body from workouts over the last seven days
compared to the last 28 days. These insights can help users make
informed decisions about their training each day, particularly when
preparing for an event — whether it is their first 5K, a bike race,
or a marathon.
To measure intensity, a new effort rating will be available
after each workout to track how difficult it was on a scale from 1
to 10. Popular cardio-based workout types will employ an innovative
new algorithm to automatically generate an estimated effort rating,
using a combination of data sources like age, height, and weight,
alongside workout data like GPS, heart rate, and elevation. Users
can also manually adjust this estimate to take into account other
factors such as stress or soreness. For workouts where an automatic
estimate is not provided — like strength training — users can still
enter an effort rating at the end of each workout.
Apple Watch will establish a 28-day training load, a weighted
average taking into account both the effort ratings and duration of
users’ workouts over this period. In the Activity app, users can
see how their training load for the most recent seven days compares
to their 28-day training load, classified as well below, below,
steady, above, or well above. This helps indicate if the current
strain on their body is ramping up, staying the same, or easing off
so they can adjust their training for the best results. Additional
information in the Fitness app on iPhone further details the
possible impact on their fitness if they continue to train at that
current level, like potential changes in fitness or risk of
injury.
A user’s daily health status and ability to train can be
intertwined, so training load can be viewed alongside information
from the Vitals app in the Activity app on Apple Watch or the
Fitness app on iPhone. Users can also view their training load
within the Vitals app.
More Customizable Activity Rings and Fitness App
Every day, Activity rings keep Apple Watch users motivated to
sit less, move more, and get some exercise — and with watchOS 11,
they’re even more customizable. Whether users are planning a rest
day during their training, have an injury, or just need a day off,
they now have the ability to pause their rings for a day, week,
month, or more — without affecting their award streaks. Users can
also customize their Activity ring goals by the day of the week, so
the rings provide the right amount of motivation at the right
moments.
Additionally, the Fitness app on iPhone offers users the ability
to customize the Summary tab to see exactly what they want to see,
including new metrics for workouts like running, hiking, swimming,
and mindfulness.
Apple Fitness+℠ has been redesigned in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and
tvOS® 18 to help users make the most of its robust library, stay
motivated, and keep consistent with their fitness routine. Updates
include a personalized For You space, Explore and Library spaces,
search features, and enhanced awards.
The Smart Stack and Photos Face Add Personalization
Apple Watch offers a variety of ways for users to customize
their experience, and updates in watchOS 11 make Apple Watch more
personalized and convenient than ever.
The Smart Stack is designed to help users quickly access
important information from any watch face, and in watchOS 11, it is
even more intelligent. New widgets including Shazam®, Photos,
Distance, and more are now available. Additionally, the Smart Stack
can suggest widgets based on time, date, location, daily routines,
and more so it is even simpler to access features on Apple Watch
when a user needs them. For example, the new severe weather alerts
widget can appear before a thunderstorm. New interactive widgets
allow users to interact with an app directly from the Smart Stack,
and Live Activities is also now available on Apple Watch within the
Smart Stack.
In watchOS 11, the Photos watch face can help a user select
their best photo options by quickly analyzing thousands of photos
using machine learning and making recommendations based on
aesthetics, composition, and even facial expressions. Then, a
custom algorithm finds the best composition by optimizing for the
subject’s position within the frame and creating a sense of depth.
Users can further personalize the face with time sizes, layouts,
font choices, and more, and the Photos face now offers Dynamic mode
so users can be delighted by a new image every time they raise
their wrist.
Even More Convenience and Ways to Stay Connected
To help users feel even more connected and safe, Check In is now
available on Apple Watch, including during workouts. Whether users
are heading out on an early morning run or to a late-night gym
session, they can access Check In directly within the Workout app
so a friend or family member can keep an eye out for their workout
to end. Users can also start a Check In from Messages, like they
can on iPhone.
The Translate app also comes to Apple Watch, so users can access
translation for one of 20 supported languages directly on their
wrist. With the new intelligence of the Smart Stack, Apple Watch
can automatically offer a suggested Translate app widget when users
are traveling to a location with a language that is different from
their Apple Watch. And Translate now provides romanization, the
pronunciation for languages using the Latin alphabet.
Additionally, the double tap gesture can now be used to scroll
through any app — like Messages, Calendar, or Weather — making it
even easier to interact with Apple Watch with one hand.
Additional updates in watchOS 11 include:
- The Workout app offers even more workout types that can
track distance using enhancements in GPS positioning, including
Soccer, American Football, Australian Football, Outdoor Hockey,
Lacrosse, Downhill Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, Snowboarding,
Golf, Outdoor Rowing, and more. Users can also see their route maps
for more workout types.
- Custom Workouts can now be used for Pool Swims, allowing
users to customize an interval-based workout with support for sets
of work and recovery, and haptics to signal it is time to move on
to the next interval. Across any Custom Workout, a new Up Next
workout view can show what remains in the current interval and
provide a snapshot of the upcoming interval.
- Apple Maps offers hikes for all U.S. national parks,
which can be saved to Apple Watch and accessed offline with
turn-by-turn guidance, even without an iPhone nearby. Users can
also create their own walking routes within the Maps app on iPhone
and save the route, so they can later navigate it with just their
Apple Watch.
- Summarized notifications, powered by Apple
Intelligence™, will be forwarded from iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15
Pro Max to Apple Watch.1
- Enhanced ticketing improves information provided to
users on tickets in Apple Wallet®, such as when the venue opens and
when the show starts. A Live Activity will start at the event so
users can see their seats and other important information at the
top of the Smart Stack.
- With Tap to Cash™, users will be able to send and
receive Apple Cash® by simply holding their Apple Watch near
another Apple Watch or iPhone.
New Tools for Developers
watchOS 11 includes new APIs that allow developers to take
advantage of the increased intelligence and capabilities of the
Smart Stack, and the magical experience of the double tap
gesture.
Developers can incorporate relevancy cues like time and date to
have important information from their app appear at just the right
time in the Smart Stack, and can now add capabilities like
interactivity to their widgets. Live Activities will automatically
show up in the Smart Stack, so users can see updates in the moment,
like when an order is ready at Panera Bread or a flight’s gate has
changed with Flighty. Developers can use an API to customize how a
Live Activity surfaces on Apple Watch.
Additionally, the new Double Tap API allows developers to define
actions within apps that users can complete with just one hand,
such as logging their baby’s time asleep on Sprout’s Baby Tracker
app.
Privacy
Privacy is fundamental in the design and development across all
of Apple’s features. When a user’s device is locked with a
passcode, Touch ID®, or Face ID®, all of their health and fitness
data in the Health app — other than Medical ID — is encrypted. Any
Health data backed up to iCloud® is encrypted both in transit and
on Apple servers. When using iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS with the
default two-factor authentication and a passcode, Health app data
synced to iCloud is encrypted end-to-end, meaning that Apple does
not have the key to decrypt the data and therefore cannot read
it.
Availability
The developer beta of watchOS 11 is available to Apple Developer
Program members at developer.apple.com starting today. A public
beta will be available to watchOS users next month at
beta.apple.com. watchOS 11 will be available this fall as a free
