Apple Watch owners can't believe one of its new app's functions, following the latest watchOS 11 update. It looks like a new app, available on Apple Watch series eight and later, has caught the attention of social media users everywhere. The app in question, The Vitals app!
The app was added to the Apple Watch's repertoire with the OS update earlier this month, but several people were unaware of what it really did. A lot of users assumed it was like the heart rate app, cool for about five minutes before you got bored of looking at your BPM for a few minutes.
But Vitals not only shows your key health metrics, but it gives you a deeper understanding of your daily health status. Some of the factors monitored are your heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, wrist temperature, and sleep duration from the previous night, according to the App Store.
It turns out that the app can tell you when you're starting to get sick something that could come in handy for a lot of people, especially this time of year. Despite its usefulness in detecting illness from time to time, it shouldn't be used as the be all and end all to treat medical conditions.
