  • Apple’s latest watchOS brings automatic sleep tracking to users’ wrists.
  • Thanks to the update, users no longer need to be in sleep focus to track key overnight metrics or naps.
  • This is just one of many upgrades to the ecosystem’s health tracking suite, including a new Vitals app.

Sleep is one of the most popular health metrics eagerly tracked by smartwatch users, and for some time, Apple Watches have been frustratingly behind the ball. Specifically, the devices would not track sleep unless utilizing Apple’s Sleep Focus mode. Now however, watchOS 11 makes it possible for users to automatically track sleep regardless of what mode their device is in.
