Created in partnership with the Yale School of Medicine’s Center for Emotional Intelligence, How We Feel helps you uncover the true answer to the question: How are you?

What we love: How We Feel structures the vast range of emotions into a sensible, color-coded system. Feeling low-energy but pleasant? Tap into a sea of green icons to pinpoint a specific feeling—maybe “chill,” “supported,” or “blessed.” Or browse the blue icons if your vibe is less upbeat. The visuals help guide you: The deeper the color, the more intense the emotion.

Quick tip: Check-in widgets on your Home Screen make it easier to stay in touch with your emotions each day. You can also add widgets that show how your friends are feeling—so you know when to reach out for a fun night on the town or a much-needed vent session.
