iOS 27.2 beta arrives. How to try the new iPhone Health app.
Apple's newest iOS 27 beta includes an early look at the updated Health app for iPhones, and you can try it now.
Apple has released a public beta version of iOS 27.2 for users who want to test new iPhone features early. This update follows directly after the iPhone Duo's exclusive features, which won't be revealed until October when the first big iOS 27 update will be launched. While the beta may not showcase any iPhone Duo information, it still offers ample testing opportunities.
To install the iOS 27.2 beta, ensure you have a recent device backup in the cloud. Then, navigate to Apple's beta software program page, sign up with your Apple account, and register the device you wish to install the beta on. Go to the device's settings, then general, and software update. Select the iOS 27.2 beta as the software version you want to upgrade to. After the update downloads and installs, wait for the process to complete.
One of the major highlights of the iOS 27.2 beta is the revamped Health app. Announced earlier in September, the updated app is expected to launch later this year. The Health app is now divided into three tabs: Insights, Longevity, and Browse. Insights provides a comprehensive overview of all your metrics in real-time, with a "For You" section offering personalized article recommendations.
Longevity introduces a "Health Age" metric, which compares your health metrics to your actual age, and allows you to track your health history to identify trends. Lastly, Browse likely serves as an easy way to locate specific content within the app that may not be easily accessible through the other tabs.
