iOS 10 and its health concernApple's Health app launched its eighth operating system, iOS 8, two years ago. At the time, the app didn't provide high performance, and with the release of iOS 10, Apple made a drastic and useful change to the Health app, making it take care of your health from activity, nutrition, mindfulness, and ending with sleep.


Activity

With the release of smart devices and the interest of companies in the Internet of Things, everything around us has become smart and performs tasks without our interference, which reduces our movement and activity. Therefore, the health application came to provide a part of it for users' activity, such as walking, jogging and sports, which are very important. Therefore, the activities section gives you a lot of information about the energy you use in walking, jogging, cycling and even swimming, so if you use an Apple Watch you will be able to make the most of the activity section.activity

A clear mind is the main reason to get the job done right. Therefore, many people are interested in doing mental sessions every morning before their work, in which they perform breathing and focus sessions, which lead to peace of mind. There are many applications available in the application store that help you to conduct such sessions, and after you perform each session, the health application will obtain this data and provide a graph showing your performance for these sessions.
