Apple Watch: watchOS 10 Beta Features Mood Tracker
The Apple watchOS 10 is a significant software upgrade for its famed wearable, and one of the most iconic announcements at the WWDC was the mood tracker feature called the "State of Mind."
This feature is unique to the Apple Watch. It helps track users' moods and feelings, helping them gain insight into their emotions. It equips users with tools that offer dynamic guidance to take care of their brains.
"Mental health is as important as physical health, and research shows that reflecting on the state of mind can help build emotional awareness and resilience," Apple said.
This mood tracker is accessible via the Mindfulness app, which helps users log their momentary emotions and daily moods to help users determine how they are feeling.

The latest watchOS 10 was said to be one of the most significant changes to the wearable, featuring a new user interface (UI) for users. From its lifestyle features, the Apple Watch proved to be an important tool for health tracking.
Countless testimonies from users show how it helps save lives, either by alerting its owner regarding an unknown condition or calling for emergency responders during a situation.
