iOS 27.3 Beta Brings Back Redesigned Health App and Adds Audio Tools
Apple has released the first public beta of iOS 27.3 for iPhones, about two months after iOS 27 launched.
The beta brings back a redesigned Health app that Apple had briefly tested in an earlier beta.
The refreshed app includes a Longevity tab and a Health Age feature.
Testers with beta software on both an iPhone and Apple Watch can also try Live Rewind, which shows a transcript of the past 15 seconds, and Siri Recap, which summarizes conversations and events.
The audio tools can save transcripts and summaries, though they are set to delete automatically unless saved.
Fitness Plus subscribers can test personalized four-week strength plans with suggested exercises, sets, reps and weights.
Apple says the redesigned Health app is due on devices later this year, but the beta may be buggy and is not recommended for a primary phone.
Apple launched the first public beta of iOS 27.3 on Monday, with the redesigned Health app returning.
The Health app includes a Longevity tab and a feature called Health Age.
The beta also lets eligible testers try Live Rewind and Siri Recap through Audio Intelligence, with a compatible Apple Watch.
Fitness Plus subscribers can test Gym Strength, which offers personalized four-week strength training plans.
Apple said the redesigned Health app is expected to reach devices later this year.

What people are saying
I’m uncomfortable with the ability to save snippets or recaps, which raises concerns about people recording my conversations without my knowledge.
I still find both features creepy.
