The features of a large update in the iOS 26 operating system began to appear, where technology analysts monitored indications of a new feature under development by Apple, aimed at improving the sleep tracking experience using the Apple Watch watches.
The feature is a qualitative shift in how users interact with their healthy data, especially with regard to the quality of sleep and its simplified and simplified sleep.
Launching the focus indicator during sleep
During an analysis of the experimental version of the “Health” application on iOS 26, a symbolic image of the Apple Watch has been revealed with the number “84”, surrounded by colored tapes representing the stages of sleep, indicating Apple’s intention to introduce a new system to evaluate the digital quality.
The new feature that may be called the Watch Focus Score, looks associated with the “Sleep Focus” mode that helps reduce notifications and provide a quiet sleep environment, but what distinguishes the new update is to provide a quantitative sleeping assessment, instead of just displaying raw data, which puts Apple Watch in direct competition with specialized devices such as Garmin and OURA.
Apple watch is transmitted from sleep tracking to analysis of its quality
Apple Watch provides basic capabilities to track sleep, such as recording the duration and stages of sleep, including deep and light sleep and rapid eye movement (REM), however, the hours lack a digital scale that the user can rely on to assess his health after waking up.
The updated update works to bridge this gap by providing smart indicators based on biometric data, which gives users a deeper understanding of their physical condition every morning.
Merging sleep codes into the iOS 26 interface enhances healthy integration
The leaks also indicate the appearance of icons such as “the moon”, “bed”, “stars”, and “stimulant” within the interface of the update, which are symbols that Apple previously used separately, but merging them currently within the context of sleep tracking enhances the experience of use and provides the user visual tools that are easy to understand to monitor the quality of his sleep.
Apple Watch may use body temperature to evaluate sleep soon
Besides known data such as sleep duration, software updates alluded that Apple plans to use new measures such as body temperature during the night, as part of a more comprehensive analysis, similar to what devices such as Huawei Watch or the OURA ring.
Dependence on sensors such as the VITALS feature in Watchos 11, opens the way for Apple Watch to be an integrated platform for healthy luxury, not just just a smart watch.
An upcoming competition in the field of sleep tracking between Apple and major manufacturers
The new trend comes from Apple at a time when companies such as Garmin, Oura and Samsung have become smart sleeping techniques at the center of the design of their devices.
Although Apple Watch was relatively late in providing a qualitative sleeping scale, her entry into this field with an interactive indicator supported by a smart analysis may change the rules of the game in its favor in the market.
