This feature requires an Apple Watch (Series 4 or later) paired with your iPhone. It automatically detects handwashing sounds and motions.
Enabling the Feature
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap Handwashing.
- Toggle Handwashing Timer ON.
How It Works
When your watch detects you are washing hands, a 20-second countdown bubble appears. If you stop early, it encourages you to keep going. You can also enable Handwashing Reminders to get a notification if you return home and haven't washed your hands.
