Iwatch ECG app in Pakistan

Why apple still not allowed ECG and heart rate notifications in Pakistan? We have paid a lot of money for apple products why The company ignored Pakistani users?

Apple must provide us the liberty to enable ECG app on our watches by simply showing us the warning ⛔️ it must be users personal choice to whether to use the ecg app or not.

The ECG has to be government approved because it classes your watch as a medical device which needs approval from your country's health authority.

It's not a matter of just turning it on or off,there are a host of legal issues involved.

I think you should contact your health authority and ask them why they haven't approved it,after all nearly every other country on the planet has ECG except Pakistan,I wonder why?.

I think you're pointing your finger in the wrong direction.

Australia went though this finger pointing blaming Apple for 2 and a half years, until finally the Australia government changed its policies, and approved the Apple Watch ECG.


During the entire 2 years there were claims Apple did not submit a request, when it was the Australian government that was the road block.


This is not political. It is a government thing.
