The seventh Betas of iOS 26 and Watchos 26 developer includes a redesigned blood oxygen functionality on Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 Models sold in the United States since mid-January 2024.
The redesigned blood oxygen functionality made its debut last week with iOS 18.6.1 and Watchos 11.6.1, and now it is also available for iOS 26 and Watchos 26 testers.
Apple said that the functionality has been “redesigned” on affected devices, with sensor data from the Blood Oxygen application on the Apple Watch now measured and calculated on the paired iPhone. The results can be viewed in the respiratory section of the health application on the iPhone. Apple said this bypass solution was supported by a recent decision of American customs.
The functionality was not available on serial 9, series 10 and Ultra 2 models sold in the United States since the beginning of last year, following an order from the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) resulting from a patent trial brought by the health company Masimo.
The Apple Watch models sold before mid-January 2024, and anywhere outside the United States, have never been affected by the ITC order and still have the original blood oxygen application, with measured, calculated and visible sensor data on the Apple Watch directly. The functionality was introduced for the first time on the Apple Watch Series 6 in 2020.
