Apple Watch will now let Atrial fibrillation (AFib) patients track and stay on top of their condition. For the uninitiated, AFib is a chronic condition of irregular heart rhythm, which causes discordant beating of the upper and lower chambers of the heart. AFib History is a first-of-its-kind feature on a wearable in India.

It requires the ECG app and irregular rhythm notification on Apple Watch to function. It means only Apple Watch Series 4 and newer with WatchOS 9 will get the new feature.

Here is all you need to know about the first-of-its-kind wearable feature in India by Apple.

What is the AFib History Feature?

AFib History Feature

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of irregular heart rhythm where the upper chambers of the heart beat out of sync with the lower chambers. Symptoms of AFib may include rapid heartbeat, palpitations, fatigue, or shortness of breath.

It is a chronic condition but the amount of time for arrhythmia can change. For instance, regular exercise, healthy diet, weight can reduce the time your heart is in AFib.

As the name suggests, AFib history can keep track of the amount if time a user’s heart is in AFib. AFib History gives users a weekly estimate of the amount of time their heart shows signs of AFib, also known as AFib burden.

Users can track this long-term and share this information with their doctors for further examination or advice. What AFib history also does is that it helps users manage factors such as exercise minutes, weight, alcohol consumption, and sleep.

All these factors can impact the percentage of a user’s heart is in AFib. Users can also tap each life factor, then tap Log to manually log the details.

How to set up AFib history

Faqs

1) Apple Introduces First-Of-Its-Kind AFib History Feature For Apple Watch Users in India.Details?

Ans) Apple has announced that Apple Watch Series 4 with WatchOS 9 users can now set up AFib History in India. For those who don’t know, AFib is a chronic heart condition that leads to the unsynchronised beating of the upper and lower chambers of the heart.

A study has shown that while the prevalence of AFib is low in India, Indian patients are also a decade younger than their Western counterparts. Therefore, the new feature from Apple will help such patients stay on top of their condition.

The symptoms include shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, or rapid heartbeat, among others. In simpler terms, it causes your heart to beat faster. AFib is a chronic condition, but the duration of arrhythmia can be controlled. Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, workout, and weight loss can considerably reduce the duration your heart is in AFib.

The new AFib History feature on Apple Watch lets users keep track of the time their heart is in AFib. The feature uses the advanced ECG electrodes sensor on Apple Watch Series 4 or later and the ECG app to track arrhythmia. It then presents a detailed weekly history of the amount of time the heart was in AFib, also known as AFib Burden. The feature also helps patients track various parameters to control the AFib Burden like weight, workout duration, sleep duration, and alcohol consumption.

However, on Apple Watch, patients need a doctor’s diagnosis to set up AFib History. Patients must report their symptoms to their doctors, who will then direct them to Electrophysiologist. For the uninitiated, Electrophysiologist is a cardiologist specialising in arrhythmias. Once the patient obtains the doctor consultation report, they can set up AFib History on their Apple Watch.

2) How to Set Up AFib History on Apple Watch?

Ans) Few things to remember before setting up AFib History on Apple Watch. It requires a physician’s diagnosis to set up, the watch should be worn 12 hours a day for at least 5 days a week, heart rate and wrist detection should be on, and the patient should be 22 years or older. Once these requisites are met, follow the steps below.

1. Open the Health app on the iPhone.
2. Tap on the Browse tab in the bottom right and scroll to Heart.
3. Scroll down and tap on AF History.
4. On the next page, tap on Get Started.
5. Provide date of birth and tap Yes to confirm the doctor’s diagnosis for AFib.
6. Tap on Continue, and you will be shown the details of AFib History, life factors, and results.
7. Finish the setup by tapping on Done.

3) How to View AFib History on Apple Watch?

Ans) The AFib History on Apple Watch is shown as a percentage indication of how long your heart has been in AFib. A lower percentage means the heart was in AFib less often and vice versa. It can be checked by following the below steps.
1. Open the Health app on the iPhone.
2. If saved to Favourites, check the Summary tab for AFib History.
3. If not saved to Favourites, tap the Browse tab and then go to Heart.
4. It will show weekly estimates of AFib, weight, sleep, alcohol consumption, and exercise minutes.
Patients will also be able to track their week-on-week AFib Burden, which is helpful for the physician in an emergency. The AFib History is another groundbreaking feather added to Apple Watch’s arsenal. Notably, there have been multiple incidents where Apple Watch has saved lives by detecting heart irregularity in individuals.

* The latest feature is not limited to beta testers and is available on stable versions.

Popular messaging app WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature that allows users to start chats with unknown people by searching for their phone numbers, without saving them in the address book.

This can get annoying if you have to converse with someone for only a little while as you will find your phone’s contact book filled with unwanted numbers. The good thing is WhatsApp is finally changing this with its latest feature release.

The Meta-owned popular instant messaging application WhatsApp has reportedly added a new feature that allows users to start chats with unknown people by searching for their phone numbers, without saving them in the address book. It is available to users who install the latest versions of WhatsApp for iOS and Android.

“WhatsApp released a highly anticipated feature that allows users to initiate chats with unknown people by simply searching for their phone numbers. Users always experienced certain limitations when trying to initiate a chat with someone on WhatsApp without first saving their contact information, and they had to rely on third-party apps or the official click-to-chat APIs, which might be more complicated to use for some users,” WABetaInfo reported.

With this feature, the Meta-owned app is making it easier for users to start conversations without saving contacts to their address book. The screenshot shared by WABetaInfo revealed that within the application.

To discover if the feature is available to your WhatsApp Account

– If you use WhatsApp for iOS, tap the button “start new chat” in the chat list
– Next, enter the unknown phone number within the search bar.
– In case the contact is on WhatsApp, you will be able to open the chat with them.

Searching for the phone number without saving it in the contact list can be considered an additional privacy measure and it definitely marks a significant step forward in enhancing the messaging user experience, WABetaInfo said.

It is important to note that the feature to quickly open a chat with unknown contacts by searching for their phone numbers is not a beta feature as it is also available to users that install the latest stable updates of the app.

Apparently the new Xiaomi Pad 6 Max has returned to obtain a new certification in which it is possible to see not only its 67W fast chargebut also its new port USB 3.2 and a larger battery than that of the Xiaomi Pad 6 Specifically 10,000mAh.

Better processor, more RAM and a new size

If these rumors came out to be true, then it means that the upcoming handset will make its way to the global market at the same timeline as its predecessors.

Just for your information, the global launch of the OnePlus 11 took place in early February this year. So, OnePlus 12 is tipped to launch in early Feb next year.

However, reports claim that OnePlus 12 will launch in China in December. It will be quite a while before people in the US and other countries of the world can get their hands on the new OnePlus flagship phone.

If we talk about its rumored specs, you will see a 64MP periscope shooter on the OnePlus 12 in addition to two 50MP shooters, one of which is an ultrawide lens.

The point worth mentioning here is that this arrangement is no doubt a big step up from the regular telephoto cameras we’ve seen on previous OnePlus flagships.

The highly anticipated OnePlus 12 will be equipped with the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

Some leaks claim that the display, battery, and charging specs of the upcoming phone will remain unchanged.

It means you’ll still see a 6.7-inch 120Hz screen, a 5,000mAh battery, and 100W wired charging, possibly limited to 80W in the US.

Oneplus is also wrapping up to launch its first foldable phone on August 26 which has been leaked extensively. So, let’s wait and watch as OnePlus has some really amazing handsets in the works.
