Apple Said to Plan Major Health App Overhaul in iOS 26.4

Multiple reports indicate Apple is targeting a spring release after a developer beta next month.

Overview

  • Coverage from 9to5Mac and Dataconomy says the Health app will get a simplified design with a new category layout and easier metric logging.
  • Bloomberg reporting cited by outlets points to native meal and calorie tracking, positioning Apple to compete more directly with services like MyFitnessPal and Noom.
  • Apple is reported to be developing expert-led health videos, with production based in Oakland, California, that the app could recommend in response to user trends.
  • An AI health agent is in development to analyze Apple Health data for personalized guidance, with experiments described for iPhone camera–based workout form feedback and ties to Fitness+.
  • These features have not been formally announced by Apple, and timelines remain subject to change, though one report also links the iOS 26.4 window to a broader Siri upgrade.
