Why is Sleep Apnea treatment unavailable on my Apple Watch in Lebanon?

Hello friends,


I have an Apple Watch Series 10, and I use it to monitor my health. However, I noticed that many features are not available in my country, Lebanon. I experience difficulties while sleeping and suspect that I might have sleep apnea, so this feature is very important to me.


Can someone please explain why this feature is not available in Lebanon? Also, is there anything we can do from our side to help speed up the process of making it available here?

these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going to a

physical apple store and asking other customers their advice


so non of us can speak officially for apple


With many

such “health” feature can require official approval from the government of the

country in question before it’s legal for apple to offer, they would not

benefit from withholding features from some markets really.

Such “health”

features also mean that citizens medical data would be stored by a foreign

third party company without individual approval by the government of said

country, and that is not something all countries feel compatible with.

But to get official

stance you will have to reach out to apples official support channels and or

maybe the department of health in your country.
