Apple Watch is updating its systems to the watchOS 8.1, and if you are using the wearable tech accessory for the iPhone, this update is a massive improvement for one's usage of the device. From the enhanced fall detection update up to the Wallet app that can now hold the image of one's COVID-19 vaccination card right at one's wrist, here is the new update.
Health is the Focus of watchOS 8.1 from Apple
One of the top health focuses of updates to the latest watchOS 8.1 is the enhanced fall detection feature of the wearable tech. And while the feature of the Apple Watch has helped a lot already in the past, it still wants the fall detection to be better and optimized for all kinds of people.
It would also help in determining the false alarms of falls if it is accidental or brought on by health reasons.
Additionally, all of the needs in getting in and out of establishments can be brought with the Watch, and it is with the arrival of COVID-19 Vaccination Cards on the Wallet app that can be flashed with the Apple Watch.
This means that a vaccination card that was stored on the digital platform would also reflect on the Apple Watch for easier integration and no more need to whip up one's device.
Lastly, the upgrade also invites more people to join a group workout for the Fitness+ workout regime of the company.
