'New watchOS 11 Feature: Automatically Detecting Naps for Apple Watch Users'
Tech & AI | June 18, 2024, 6:44 a.m.
watchOS 11 is set to introduce a long-awaited feature that allows Apple Watch users to automatically detect and record naps, without the need to manually activate Sleep Mode. This update was discovered by an Apple Watch owner who found their nap data logged in the Health app after taking a snooze.
Currently, the Apple Watch only tracks sleep when in Sleep Mode, with no support for recording naps. This improvement will enable Apple Watches on watchOS 11 to include naps in the Sleep section of the Health app, potentially even allowing for automatic nap tracking without activating Sleep Mode.
The addition of nap tracking fulfills a major need for users, who have long desired this feature on their Apple Watch. This update is sure to be a welcomed enhancement for those who rely on naps to supplement their sleep.
