watchOS 11 is now available with sleep apnea detection for the Series 9 and Ultra 2


Take a breather without being punished.

The update, available for the Apple Watch Series 6 and later models, will finally allow users to take rest days without breaking their activity streak and introduces FDA-clearedsleep apnea detection. If sleep apnea is detected, the Apple Watch will alert the user and provide additional information that can be shared with a doctor, who can make a formal diagnosis. A new Vitals app provides an overnight summary of health metrics like heart rate, breathing rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen levels, and how long you slept, and the Apple Watch’s Cycle Tracking will also display gestational age — the current length of a pregnancy — and adds the ability to track pregnancy symptoms.
