Apple's redesigned Health app is back in the iOS 27.3 beta, according to MacRumors and 9to5Mac. The overhaul first appeared during testing of iOS 27.2 but was left out of the final release of that update, and it returned with the first iOS 27.3 developer beta, which Apple seeded on November 3.
Three tabs, built around Apple Intelligence
9to5Mac reports that the new app is organized into three tabs: Insights, Longevity and Browse. The design adapts to the data a person collects, and on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence it uses the on-device assistant to shape what appears.
The Insights tab gathers recent figures such as Activity rings, heart rate, sleep score and vitals. According to MacRumors, Apple Intelligence draws on that information to offer what the app calls Personal Guidance, with suggestions based on a user's goals and the kinds of activity they do.
Longevity and Health Age
The Longevity tab looks at health data over a longer period. MacRumors says it assesses users across seven categories: heart health, sleep, mental wellbeing, movement health, metabolic health, hearing and nutrition.
It also introduces a Health Age feature. Both outlets describe it as a way of comparing a person's metrics with what is typical for their actual age. MacRumors lists resting heart rate, VO2 max, heart rate variability, sleep and biomarkers from blood work among the inputs, and says it relies mainly on data collected by Apple Watch, along with fitness assessments.
Beta status and timing
The features are in beta and could change before release. Apple opened the first iOS 27.3 public beta on November 5, so users who sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program can try the Health app redesign now. Bloomberg reported earlier this month that the iOS 27.3 beta also includes Apple Intelligence in China and listening tools tied to the Watch, and Mark Gurman wrote that Apple has confirmed a public release for December.
Apple has not published a separate announcement describing the Health app redesign, so the details above come from hands-on coverage of the beta rather than from Apple itself.
