Furthermore, with iOS 16 and watchOS 9, all Cycle Tracking users will now get a message if their documented cycle history reveals a probable deviation, such as irregular, infrequent, or lengthy periods, and persistent spotting, all of which might be signs of underlying health concerns.
Crash Detection
Apple created an improved sensor-fusion algorithm to allow Crash Detection on Apple Watch, which now boasts the largest dynamic range accelerometer in any wearable. Data from these new motion sensors were gathered at professional crash test facilities using popular passenger vehicles in simulated real-world collisions, including head-on, rear-end, side-impact, and rollovers, to construct the algorithm. Collision Detection employs the barometer, GPS, and microphone on the iPhone as inputs, in addition to motion data, to identify distinctive patterns that might indicate whether a catastrophic crash has occurred.
When the Apple Watch senses a serious vehicle accident, it will check in with the user and contact 911 if they are unresponsive after a 10-second countdown. The user’s device location is sent to emergency responders and shared with the user’s emergency contacts. Crash Detection on Apple Watch and iPhone work together smoothly to provide people support quickly. When a major automobile collision is detected, the emergency services call interface appears on Apple Watch since it is likely to be closer to the user, but the call is sent via iPhone if it is in range for the best possible connection.
Low Power Mode
To keep users connected for even longer, a new Low Power Mode for Apple Watch Series 8 with iPhone present may prolong battery life to up to 36 hours. This new mode disables or restricts some sensors and capabilities, such as the Always-On Retina display, exercise autostart, heart health alerts, and others, for a limited time.
