There is a nice thing that has been added in Phone Islam, which is that all images are now labeled and readable with a screen reader, thanks
Thanks for the great article. I am a fan of Fone Islam since its first launch. I have an iPhone 14 pro max, and unfortunately the application has become boring to browse, unstable due to the large number of advertisements, and browsing in it has become boring because it is unstable, that is, when it goes down or above, it becomes jerky and does not go down. please pay attention. Thank you.

Can I measure pressure on an Apple Watch?
Hello Sultan Muhammad 🙋♂️, Yes you can measure your blood pressure using the Apple Watch but not directly. The watch monitors the heart rate and if there are any disturbances, this may indicate a problem with the blood pressure. However, for best results, it is preferable to use a blood pressure monitor approved by medical professionals. Always remember that the Apple Watch is a great tool for tracking your health, but it is not a substitute for professional medical care. 😊👍🏼
