Your iPhone and Apple Watch are packed with features designed to help in a genuine emergency — but they only work if you've set them up in advance. In this video, Lee walks you through several essential safety features: Medical ID, Emergency SOS, Fall Detection, Heart Rate alerts with ECG, and Check In. This gives you everything you need to make sure your devices are ready when it matters most.

Five minutes of setup today could make a real difference when you need it most.

To conclude his series on Apple Watch, Darcy showcases many of the health focused apps and hardware available on your wrists. Watch along to learn how to check your heart rate, ECG and blood oxygen in the moment and share that information with medical professionals. And for people who exercise at any level, a full breakdown of the exercise app including custom workouts and mindfulness. All of this information is then shown through the Fitness and Health apps to give you a rounded picture of your health.

Every year we cover the feature updates in iOS with an extensive video that comes out right around the new OS release date.
