Apple has announced notable global expansions for some of its latest health features for Apple Watch and AirPods. Here are the details.
Four Apple Health features have rolled out to new countries, including two for India.
Health remains a major focus for Apple, not only on the Apple Watch but also on the AirPods Pro.
Due to regulatory requirements, Apple’s rollout of new health features is always gradual. But the company just announced that some of its latest features have been rolled out to major new territories worldwide.
AirPods Pro hearing aid functionality is now available in Italy. It requires AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods Pro 2.
Hypertension notifications have now launched in Taiwan. They require Apple Watch Series 9 or later, or Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later.
Finally, as part of the biggest new global expansion, users across India now have access to two additional health features:
- Hearing test
- Sleep apnea notifications
Hearing test requires AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods Pro 2. Sleep apnea notifications require Apple Watch Series 9 or later, Apple Watch Ultra 2, or Apple Watch SE 3.
Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, Greg Joswiak, detailed the expansion in an article on X:
As Joswiak notes, some Apple Health features are now available in more than 160 countries and regions worldwide.
