Apple introduced its much-anticipated mixed-reality headset Apple Vision Pro at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference earlier in the week, but also quietly announced new health features in iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10, expanding in two significant areas.

The new mental health features, according to the company, allow users to log their current emotions and daily moods, see valuable insights, and access evaluations and resources.

According to a company press release, the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch now have new vision health features that encourage healthy behaviours to reduce the risk of myopia (near-sightedness), and the Health app has arrived on the iPad.

Apple stated that new and existing health features are based on science and designed with privacy in mind.

People can scroll through engaging, multidimensional shapes in the Health app and select their mood from Very Pleasant to Very Unpleasant. Then, according to the company, they can choose associations that have the greatest impact on their feelings, such as Travel or Family, and describe their feelings, such as Grateful or Worried.

Users can see insights to identify what may be contributing to their mental state — whether it’s associations or lifestyle factors like sleep or exercise — and use this to better manage their health, according to Apple.

Apple Watch now can measure time spent in daylight using the ambient light sensor, thanks to watchOS 10.

In iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, users can view the amount of time spent in daylight detected by their Apple Watch in the Health app.

The new Screen Distance feature, according to Apple, uses the same TrueDepth camera that powers Face ID on iPhones and iPad to encourage users to move their device farther away after holding it closer than 12 inches for an extended period.

Children who do not have their phones can pair the Apple Watch with their parent’s iPhone using Family Setup. This will provide parents with insight into how much time their children spend outside during the day.
