Apple tests redesigned Health app in iOS 27.2 beta
Apple is trialing a revamped Health app with new Insights and Longevity tabs in the iOS 27.2 beta, with a broader release planned later this year.
Apple is testing a redesigned Health app in the iOS 27.2 beta, following a preview at its September iPhone event. The overhaul adds two new sections—Insights and Longevity—that expand the range of health and fitness data displayed.
The Insights tab currently presents recent metrics such as Activity Rings, heart rate, sleep score and vitals, and is slated to include personalized guidance in a future update. Users of Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will receive a readiness score derived from recent activity, vitals and sleep data, intended to help decide whether to rest or push harder.
The Longevity tab aggregates health information over time to calculate a "Health Age" based on activity level, VO2 max, sleep duration and other indicators. It also offers on-device fitness assessments for flexibility, balance and VO2 max. Apple plans to integrate a $119 laboratory panel from Quest Diagnostics into the Health Age calculation, though users can currently upload existing lab results.
Full functionality of the new Health app requires an Apple Watch or another compatible fitness device. The app is not included in the final iOS 27.2 release and is expected to launch later in the year.
