How often and for how long does the I phone watch check for atrial fib? I see no information as to how long the check is periodically (ie- for 30 seconds or 2 minutes)

How often and for what length of time does the I phone watch periodically check for atrial fibrillation? Ie does it check for 15 seconds or for 2 minutes each time it checks? How often in a day does it check?

Hello MailynA,


This article (that was linked to your posting) gives more information about how AFib tracking works: Track your AFib History with Apple Watch - Apple Support. It explains "Apple Watch only checks for signs of atrial fibrillation periodically. AFib History may not find every instance of your irregular rhythm."


If you are looking for more specific information, we recommend that you contact Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Get Support.


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities and have a wonderful day.
