New features like Health Age bring Apple's app more in line with competitors like Whoop and Oura.
The new Health app still acts as a repository for all the data your Apple Watch and other Bluetooth-enabled fitness devices collect, but in a first for Apple, now tries to do something with that information.
Apple says written and video commentary from health experts will now also appear dynamically in the app in response to your data.

How
Headline check
The one thing this headline claims is in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. One claim in this headline could be checked, so this is a narrow pass and not a thorough one. One figure in this headline has a decimal point in it. We match figures digit for digit against the report, and that comparison is not reliable for decimals, so that one was not checked either way rather than reported as missing. How this is checked
The article, shortened and in plain language
New features like Health Age bring Apple's app more in line with competitors like Whoop and Oura.
After announcing plans to roll out its redesigned Health app later in 2026, Apple is giving anyone running the iOS 27.2 developer beta a chance to try it out now. The new Health app still acts as a repository for all the data your Apple Watch and other Bluetooth-enabled fitness devices collect, but in a first for Apple, now tries to do something with that information.
The current beta version of the app includes the new Insights tab that offers an overview of your daily metrics and trends across categories like sleep, fitness, and readiness; and the Longevity tab, which collects several new features. Apple says written and video commentary from health experts will now also appear dynamically in the app in response to your data.

This is Engadget's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with
verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives
that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure
this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
