Handwashing with Apple Watch
Washing your hands is one of the best ways to prevent virus infection – but humans are bad at it. Really thorough washing with soap is very rare, which was bad news for people trying to reduce COVID-19 transmissions in their communities. Apple was one of the first tech companies to help out with a neat little feature that was first rolled out to Apple Watches – a Handwashing feature. What made it especially neat is that the Apple Watch could automatically detect when you were washing your hands, and initiate a 20-second countdown without needing to do any more.
