Apple says that its blood oxygen monitoring feature has been “redesigned” for the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the United States.
Apple’s new solution for blood oxygen monitoring involves measuring sensor data from the Blood Oxygen app on the Apple Watch, and sending it for calculation to a paired iPhone, with the results to be viewable in the Respiratory section of the Health app. Apple says that the update is enabled by a recent U.S. Customs ruling.
The redesigned blood oxygen monitoring feature will be available as part of iOS 18.6.1 and watchOS 11.6.1. The update will roll out later today.
Apple Watch models in the United States that include the original blood oxygen monitoring feature and those purchased internationally will be unchanged by the update.
