A new leak from Apple has revealed that the company will debut a new “Mind” app with iOS 15 and watchOS 8. Someone at Apple seems to have accidentally deployed a new App Store profile with references to the “Mind” app on watchOS. Additionally, it also points to the Tips and Contacts app coming to the Apple Watch.
Apple does tend to improve the health tracking aspect of watchOS with every major new release. So, the introduction of the Mind app in watchOS 8 won’t be a surprise. As the name suggests, the Mind app may help one relax and is aimed at one’s mental health.
