How to use the Blood Oxygen app on Apple Watch

    After almost two years, Apple finally redesigned the Blood Oxygen function and re -launched on Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the United States. This function follows the percentage of oxygen that your red blood cells wear from your lungs to the rest of your body, and it can be incredibly useful to help you understand your overall well -being.

    With apps such as a softer streak, having the blood oxygen measurement helps you to tackle a new day with training sessions or to give you a heads -up when you are about to get sick. Although this function is not approved by the FDA, such as the ECG app on the Apple Watch, it is still a valuable tool for well -being and we will tell you how to use it the most.

    Whether you ignored the Blood Oxygen app on Apple Watch before it was deleted or you were happy to see in exchange in iOS 18.6.1 and Watchos 11.6.1, we will teach you how to use the function on your Apple Watch and how you can find the relevant statistics on your iPhone.

    As long as your iPhone and Apple Watch are updated to the latest versions of iOS and Watchos, it is easy to take a blood oxygen measurement. That said, remember that you must have an Apple Watch series 6 or newer to use the app. As soon as you follow the steps below:

    • Open your Apple Watch de Blood Oxygen app on your Apple Watch.

    • Make sure the watch is not too low on your wrist – the tire must be cozy, but comfortable.

    • Keep your watch on the holes and try not to move (it is often the easiest to rest your wrist on a table).

    • Crane Start And wait 15 seconds.

    • Your oxygen levels must appear on the screen.

    The data is automatically stored in the Health app on your connected iPhone. To check that information on your iPhone, you must open the Health app, tap the Browse through Tab and then tap Airways > Blood -ox. You will see all relevant health details, including some extra insights, such as your oxygen range over the course of a few days. In the Apple Watch Series 11, which is expected to debut next month in addition to the iPhone 17, Apple would also add blood pressure monitoring.
