The Emergency SOS button on Apple devices has been a revolution in saving lives since its launch in Spain. With its compatibility already proven in Spain, this feature has been credited with saving lives, even in emergencies such as a situation in Burgos. Now, Apple has announced a new surprise for its users: iPhone 14 will come with an additional year of Emergency SOS via satellite, free of charge.
However, Apple is not just stopping at that. The new iOS 17.2 comes with another essential service that has been unveiled – Diario. This new application works on an emotional level, rather than just a physical one, and has been hailed as a valuable tool for self-reflection. The app prompts users to record their moods and keep track of various activities, providing a way to contrast patterns and shed some light on their emotional well-being.
While the official release of the app was in April 2023, rumors about it started to emerge earlier. The app, code-named Jurassic, is a nod to its roots in the Swiss forest plateau. It aims to bring journaling into the digital age, recognizing the historical significance of keeping a diary as a tool for mental health and self-discovery.
The ‘Diary’ app, bold and non-invasive, collects data points and shapes routines with subtle questions and suggestions. It prompts users to write about various activities, and the more information is collected, the more refined the proposals become. As a result, users gain a new perspective and emotional traceability, helping them to locate causes and understand their emotional struggles better.
Despite its importance, the ‘Diary’ app is not available for all iPhone models or iOS versions. Currently, it is compatible with iPhone models capable of updating to iOS 17.2, including all the latest models such as iPhone 14, as well as older ones like iPhone 11 and iPhone XS.
Whether it’s tracking daily routines or recording mood changes, the Diary app is a valuable addition to iOS. It offers users a way to reflect on their emotional state and mental well-being, providing vital insights into their lives. As Apple continues to innovate and improve its services, the Diary app stands as an essential tool for self-reflection and emotional well-being.
