Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 may temporarily lose hypertension notifications upon upgrade due to regulatory clearances. Apple's feature availability page notes that these notifications might not be available on Series 12 or Ultra 4 at launch in certain regions, including Canada, Australia, India, Brazil, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, South Korea, and the UAE.
The warning applies to 33 countries and regions, with a full list available on Apple's website. The new watches boast upgraded sensors and a Health Sensing System, including enhanced optical and electrical heart sensors for more accurate readings. Apple has also added new elements such as ECG, improved optical sensing, and more frequent heart rate measurements.
However, users in countries not listed on Apple's site will continue to receive hypertension notifications as usual, including the United States, UK, and all EU countries.
