This post is from the WWDC26 Health & Fitness Q&A.
Are there any updates to the Health app to be aware of that are part of the releases but weren’t mentioned in the keynote or PSTOU? The heart rate zones didn’t mention anything either, perhaps there are no changes other than that and the new menopause related data.
Hi SwiftNativeDeveloper, our Health improvements in the Keynote certainly highlighted the work in Menopause and Perimenopause:
- Perimenopause support across Health features
- Perimenopause symptom logging
- Perimenopause educational content
But some of the other highlights that we announced also included:
- Synced step counts between Health and Fitness
- More accurate Apple Watch step tracking
- Improved treadmill distance accuracy
- Faster workout start
- Faster Health app data updates
- Fitness+ workouts for perimenopause and menopause
- Support for time-zone changes in Sleep
If you have questions about any particular detail, feel free to post another question so that we can get the right expert in this Q&A to address them.
