Less than 48 hours before the start of WWDC, a new App Store leak suggests that Apple plans to announce a new “Mind” application on its different platforms, as well as the introduction of the independent Tips and Contacts application for Apple Watch. presumably as part of the watchOS 8 update.
The leak is courtesy of developer Khaos Tian, who noted that Apple accidentally updated the App Store manifest with new App ID package identifiers. The findings refer to “com.apple.NanoTips” and “com.Apple.NanoContacts”, both identifiers include “Nano”, which is Apple’s internal codename for Apple Watch applications.
In addition to the identifiers that refer to unreleased applications for Apple Watch, Apple also released “com.Apple.Mind,” an application not currently offered by the company. The lack of a specific codename, like Nano, probably indicates that the app will be available on watchOS and iOS. In the past, Apple was rumored to be working on different health functions, including mental health.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has stated that the next watchOS update will include new and improved health tracking features. Apple already offers a Breathe app on Apple Watch, and the unreleased Mind app may be an expansion or replacement for the app to better suit mental health needs. Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference begins Monday, June 7 at 10 am PT.
