watchOS 8: a new “Mind” app for mental health?

If iOS 15 is expected to bring new health featureson the food and nutrition side, with watchOS 8, Apple would like to offer something to improve the mental health of users.

In fact, a new reference for an Apple watchOS app was found in the Apple Store: “Mind”.

Looks like someone deployed the new profile for App Store too early? Want to guess what “https://t.co/nhhpJFmZbJ.Mind” is on watchOS?pic.twitter.com/BarzoJtovq

The English word “Mind” can be translated into French by the word “Esprit”. Many analysts therefore predict that this Mind app should be focused on the mental well-being of users, possibly with exercises in meditation, relaxation, stress management, emotion management, etc.

Remember that on Apple Watch, there already exists the “Breathe” application which wants to encourage users to relax for several tens of seconds by concentrating on their breathing.

The new Mind application could therefore take over from this “Breathe” app with the potential to go even further in the field of psychological well-being. This is notably what Mark Gurman from Blommberg, a journalist widely followed for his often correct predictions about Apple, announced.

With the Mind app, Apple could also introduce a new contacts app in watchOS 8.

The Californian firm will certainly tell us more this evening, during itstraditional WWDC Keynote. You will be able to follow the announcements alongside us,thanks to our live text already in place here.
