The Apple Watch Series 5 released in September still doesn’t have a very high sleep monitoring function, but that doesn’t mean Apple doesn’t have any plans for this. The App Store’s app preview screenshot reveals some information.

In a series of apps developed by Apple in the App Store, Under the category of Apple Watch, there is an application called “Alarms”, which is the alarm clock we usually use. The focus is not on this application, but the information that appears in the screenshot. According to the screenshot, the new alarm app will have the “Sleep” option for “Setting your bed and wake up time in the Sleep app”, which is not available in Apple Watch’s existing alarm clock application. This message was originally created by MacRumors exposure, then Apple changed the screenshot.

The iPhone has similar sleep tracking function. Apple has added “sleeping” function to the clock application from iOS 10. Users can set when they want to wake up and sleep time. The system will automatically calculate the bedtime. Time and on-time remind the user to sleep and automatically update the wake-up alarm. This feature also has a sleep tracking function that tracks the user’s bedtime by tracking the user’s nighttime iPhone time and synchronizes sleep to the “health” application.

However, the sleeping function on the iPhone is currently not available in the Apple Watch, and only the sleep reminder is received. Apple also specifically emphasizes on the introduction page of the feature that “Apple Watch will not track sleep time or bed time”. Screenshots of the App Store indicate that Apple Watch’s new alarm clock app will also have sleep management capabilities, but we still can’t determine whether the Sleep app is on the iOS or watchOS platform. So far, Sleep has not appeared in the beta version of watchOS., Apple Insider Guess Apple may update the alarm clock app directly through Apple Watch’s App Store instead of releasing system updates. After all, the standalone app store is a feature of watchOS 6.0.

Since the acquisition of sleep monitoring device manufacturer Beddit in 2017, the guess about Apple Watch will have sleep monitoring, just before the release of Apple Watch Series 5, 9To5Mac also got news from Apple’s insiders that Apple is developing watches The sleep tracking function, codenamed “Burrito”, is internally called “bedtime tracking”. When the user wears a watch to sleep, the watch uses multiple sensors and user’s movement, heartbeat, noise and other data to track the sleep quality. If the user wakes up before getting up and the alarm goes off, the watch will even turn off the alarm automatically. The Sleep report was also mentioned in the report.

Although the above features did not appear on the Apple Fall conference on September 10th, considering that the Sleep app has appeared in the official photo for a short time, maybe we will see its true face in the new watchOS soon. It is.
