The Apple Watch could get an enhanced power saving mode in the upcoming watchOS 9. In addition, the existing health features are expected to be expanded.
Apple is expected to unveil watchOS 9 at WWDC in June, and a new report says it will include health and power-saving features, as well as a watch face overhaul. Declarations According to Bloomberg, watchOS 9 will introduce a new power saving mode. Currently, the Apple Watch can enter a power saving mode at the user's request, which is automatically activated when the battery drops to 10 %. In power saving mode, all functions of the Apple Watch except the time are turned off. However, Bloomberg claims that the power saving mode in watchOS 9 will allow the Watch to continue running certain apps. It is likely that the new mode will be similar to the iPhone's power saving feature, which reduces the screen brightness, among other things. Reports suggest that watchOS 9 could also expand the current atrial fibrillation health feature.
Apple will announce watchOS 9 at WWDC 2022
Although it's not yet certain for this version, it will be used to monitor the frequency of atrial fibrillation during specific periods. The long-awaited blood pressure monitoring feature will not be included. However, the new report also claims that Apple will add more workout types to the Apple Watch, as well as additional running data. Apple is also expected to update many of the current watch faces in some way with watchOS 9. Even if Apple announces watchOS 9 at WWDC, which it almost certainly will, there will inevitably be features that won't be revealed until the launch of the Apple Watch Series 8. Apple is expected to launch three new models in 2022 and retire the Apple Watch Series 3. (Photo by oasisamuel / Bigstockphoto)
