GoKawiilApple pulls redesigned Health app from iOS 27.2 beta 4
Apple's revamped Health app, which debuted in iOS 27.2 developer beta 1 and appeared in two public betas, has been removed in developer beta 4. The release reverts to the previous Health app layout, though Apple says beta-collected health data will be preserved and viewable in Settings, and still expects the new app to launch this year.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The removal suggests Apple needs more time to finish features like health age tracking and Quest Diagnostics lab scheduling before a wider rollout. It also indicates the redesigned Health app is unlikely to ship with iOS 27.2 this October, with iOS 27.3 beta in late October or early November seen as the more likely vehicle for its return.
- The new Health app, first shown in September, has been pulled from iOS 27.2 developer beta 4.
- It had appeared in developer beta 1 and two public betas with features like health age and Quest Diagnostics scheduling.
- Apple maintains the redesigned app is still planned for release this year, likely via iOS 27.3.
Apple Watch Series 10 — Since the Health app is central to Apple's ecosystem, an Apple Watch is the best way to feed it rich data like heart rate, activity, and sleep tracking. It pairs seamlessly with iOS updates like the one described, giving you deeper insight into metrics such as health age once the new Health app fully rolls out.
