Apple's redesigned Health app is coming to more languages. Apple said on 3 November that it now supports global English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. It's in the iOS 27.3 developer beta now and will reach everyone as a free software update later this year, and Apple says more languages will follow.

The new app is built around Apple Intelligence, so it needs an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, running the latest software, and some features are iPhone only. Apple says your health data stays private and protected at every step.

What's in the redesigned Health app

  • An Insights tab: short summaries through the day that pull together your heart, sleep, readiness, fitness, vitals and cycle tracking data.
  • For You: suggestions based on your daily habits. Apple's example is advice on changing your wind-down routine after several nights of broken sleep. It sits next to videos and articles featuring the Health app's clinical experts.
  • A Longevity tab: long-term trends across heart health, sleep, mental wellbeing, movement, metabolic health, hearing and nutrition.
  • Health Age: the centrepiece of the Longevity tab. It uses Apple Watch data, including VO2 max, resting heart rate, sleep and heart rate variability, to show how your body is doing compared with your actual age. You can add lab results such as A1c and LDL cholesterol for a fuller picture.
  • At-home movement checks: with your iPhone's camera and an Apple Watch, the app measures flexibility, strength, balance, how you move and VO2 max, with live audio and visual feedback. It runs entirely on the device, and Apple says no video is ever recorded, stored or shared.

When you'll get it

Developers can try the redesigned app in the iOS 27.3 developer beta now. Everyone else gets it in a free iOS update later this year, though Apple hasn't given a date.

Check the fine print before you count on every feature. Health Age needs an Apple Watch. The VO2 max test needs an Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 3 or a third-party heart rate sensor. Some features are only for people aged 18 or over, and what's available still depends on your language, region and local law.
