  • Tracking Mental Wellbeing in iOS 17

    In this episode, Yessie goes over the different options in the Mental Wellbeing section of the Health app in iOS 17, including tracking moods and emotions, mental health questionnaires, time spent in daylight, sleep, and more. She also talks about an alternative app for tracking emotions called How We Feel. This app is more fully featured than the Apple Health version, but the trade off is it's less accessible overall.
