Morning light now follows the sun, not your alarm clock. YOUR MORNING WINDOW OPENS AT SUNRISE It used to open when you said you woke up, which made it a statement about a setting rather than about the sky: set 07:00 in a dark December and the app would tell you to go out well before the sun came up. The window now opens at sunrise and closes midway to solar noon, so it moves with the season and with wherever you are standing. There is nothing to configure, and the wake-time question is gone from setup. If you had set a wake time, it is still doing one job: your morning reminder will not arrive before it. That is there so a midsummer sunrise does not wake you at half past three. A TIMER FOR YOUR MINUTES OUTSIDE Step outside, press Start, and the app tells you when you have had enough. It runs on the clock rather than on the screen, so you can lock the phone, put it in your pocket and keep walking, and the time still counts. When the dose is full you get a notification and the day is logged for you. How long is enough depends on how bright it is, so the app would rather measure than guess. Turn on Measure the light and the camera reads the brightness you are actually standing in: full sun fills the dose in about five minutes, heavy cloud takes nearer half an hour. Switch it off and the timer carries on at whatever it last measured, or at the forecast for your sky. Indoor light earns nothing, which is the whole point of going outside. FIND THE SUN A compass that points at the sun, for the mornings you cannot see it. Cloud, a building or a hill hides the sun without switching it off, and outdoor light on a grey morning is still many times brighter than any room. Hold the phone flat and turn until the sun meets the mark at the top, and you are facing it. Before dawn it points at where the sun will come up and tells you when. Face towards the sun, and never stare straight at it. TODAY, WINDOWS AND TRENDS, ONE TAP APART A tab bar along the bottom. Your three windows and your trends used to sit behind buttons on Today, and now each has a tab of its own. A running morning timer carries on while you move between them. ALSO • Remove Ads is now one tap away, at the top of Today. • The sunrise and sunset times under the sun's arc are readable again: the curve no longer runs through them, and they no longer spill off the edge of the screen. ALSO FIXED, IF YOU BOUGHT REMOVE ADS Three problems could hide your unlock on a slow connection: the tracking prompt could appear to someone who had paid to remove it, leaving Settings while the app was still checking could drop the unlock until the next launch, and the price could sit on Unavailable and never resolve. All three are fixed. Everything here stays an estimate with a source you can read in the app. The durations follow published morning-light guidance, the brightness figure is worked out from your camera's exposure rather than read off a light sensor, and none of it is medical advice.

Your wheel, added up. The headline number is now your ratings added together. Rate eight areas and it's out of 80; rate six and it's out of 60. No formula in between. Everywhere it appears — home, History, the widget, the Watch — it now shows what it's out of. Tap it for the breakdown: Level, for how high you're rating overall, and Balance, for how even the wheel is. A high but lopsided wheel still can't hide behind one figure. An off switch for the ghost wheel. The faint outline of your last check-in behind the current one helps some people and distracts others. Tap the line under the wheel to hide it, and a button brings it back whenever you want the comparison. Clearer invitations. Send the link any way you like — WhatsApp, Messages, email. Just address it to an email address or phone number that's on the other person's Apple Account, because it only opens on the account it was sent to. Removing ads is easier to find. It used to be buried in Settings; there's now a button in the toolbar at the top of your wheel, showing the price and Restore Purchases.

Easier to read, easier to hit — and the reminders you may not have noticed. ACCESSIBILITY Every big number now responds to your text size. Set Larger Text and the lux reading, the Light Score, your session dose and the trends figures all scale with it, instead of staying stubbornly small. "Start a sun session" and the Apple Weather link were smaller tap targets than Apple's minimum. Both are now comfortably tappable wherever you press them. The safety text — the "not medical advice" and "don't burn" lines — is darker. It was the least legible copy in the app, which is the wrong way round for the copy that matters most. ANALYTICS, OFF UNLESS YOU SAY SO Settings now has "Share anonymous analytics". It is off, nothing is collected until you turn it on, and it cannot be used to track you across other apps or websites. WHILE YOU'RE HERE — WHAT ARRIVED IN THE LAST UPDATE The release notes for that one described the wrong version, so in case you missed it: Reminders now reach you outside. Seize Light can tell you when your morning light is ready and when to start winding down. The times are computed on your device from the sun where you are, so they move with the season. Nothing is sent to a server and there is no account. You are asked once during setup, with everything else off — say no and the app asks for nothing. Log from your Home Screen. Add the medium widget and it carries a single button: your morning light before the evening wind-down, your evening protection after. One tap, without opening the app — which is the point, because the thing being logged happened outdoors. Your sun sessions are kept. The dose-and-burn session used to throw everything away when you left the screen. It now records your minutes, the estimated vitamin D, the peak UV and where you stopped relative to a burn. Trends gains a card for the week, and a session in your morning window counts as your morning light so you are not asked to report the same thing twice.

A rebuilt home screen, a camera light meter, and a globe. THE HOME SCREEN NOW LEADS WITH WHAT TO DO Open the app and the first thing you see is the decision: morning light is open, the vitamin-D window closes at 15:05, wind down around 20:44 — with the two numbers that qualify it, UV now to today's peak and the oldest UV rule there is (if your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun is high). Under it, all three of your light windows are on the screen at once, each showing where it stands right now and opening in full with a tap. The day's arc sits below them, where context belongs. MEASURE THE LIGHT YOU'RE ACTUALLY IN Your camera now works as a light meter. Point it at a room and read it in lux or foot-candles, with what that number means for this hour: bright enough to set your body clock, or dim enough to protect your sleep. Ordinary room light is around 100–500 lux — even an overcast sky outside is many times brighter. Nothing is recorded: no photo or video is saved, and no image ever leaves your device. A GLOBE, WHEN YOU WANT ONE Tap Globe at the top of the home card to swap the day's arc for the Earth, centered on you — the day/night line sweeping toward you, where the sun stands directly overhead right now, and the tropics and polar circles that decide whether a vitamin-D window is even possible where you live. A RICHER SUN ARC The arc shades real sky brightness through twilight, traces the day's UV alongside the sun's path, and shows the sun's live elevation and compass bearing. Drag along it to read the time at any point in the day. SHARE YOUR LIGHT DAY Trends can now build an image of your day — the arc, day length, your Light Score, your streak and the peak UV — to save or send. It carries nothing from Apple Health, and no location more precise than the name of the place. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Trends opens with your last 14 days. Days you didn't track show as a faint mark, never a zero — a day you didn't log is not a day you scored nothing. • Your Light Score card now shows your streak and the shape of your week; logging moved to its own card beneath it. • Settings is ordered by what you actually change: reminders first, your profile behind a single summary line. • A new Bedtime setting shapes your evening wind-down. • Nothing shows a dash where a number should be. On a fresh install the app tells you what to do instead. • Live UV is back and steadier, so the vitamin-D window and your Light Score run on real conditions again. This version also introduces a single, consent-based ad when you return to the app. You choose what you share, and you can change it any time in Settings › Privacy › Privacy choices. Your Health data and your location are never used for advertising. Every number is still an estimate, and still cited. General wellness and educational use only — not medical advice. Don't burn.
