That’s a great mood to start tracking in the feature, then ;-)

It’s a handy, insightful and welcome feature for a lot of people who find it interesting to track and monitor their mental state of mind. Apple’s Mental Wellbeing health feature can be used as a powerful tool to improve one’s mood throughout the day, week and month. Knowledge is power. I absolutely love it.

Don’t do it! You’ll need your left pinky for when the end call button is moved to the lower back of the phone
I think this iOS version lacks of interesting features, because they are busy preparing side-loading for the EU. It’s one of the most boring iOS release ever, and don’t deserve to be called 17.
The only thing I was exited for was the shorter Siri activation. But this feature is still not available if you don't speak English.
And I don't like the new weather app for the apple watch at all. Hard to read and use.

You’d be amazed at how much tracking your mood can improve it. You will start identifying what triggers you and building tools to circumvent it.

I just wish that there was a faster way to log my mood. Maybe I’m missing something, but having to open the health app, find “state of mind”, then hitting log is a (first world) pain. It’d be nice if it existed as a widget or in the health app’s long press menu.
I usually use my right hand, but you're probably right — I will withdraw from that bet!
It does more than remove them from unread, it deletes them. It's meant to do the same when such codes come via email too. Both rely on the website requiring the codes to correctly identify the box the code is to be pasted into - same as the way keychain works.
Sometimes, they don't get deleted from every device. There's often an issue with message syncing - there's always some issue with iCloud; Apple don't seem competent in that area for some reason.
Anyone else on public beta 5 having an issue with the Mail app, and the predictive Move to "folder name"? Since beta 4 I've been having an issue where across three email accounts it's stuck suggesting the same folder every time. Every now and then if it's a multiple email thread it might remember the folder where the other messages were saved in but not always. I've reported it under 4 and 5 now in the Feedback Assistant app.
So you are ok with filling up an app every now and then your mood changes? "Oh, I'm happy, let's write it down. Hmm, now I'm sad, gonna record it. For some reason I'm angry now, let's open the app"...
I mean... I know depression is a hard thing to go through but I do believe there are more useful ways to get help. I just don't see how stopping everything I'm doing to write down my current mood is going to help. I find it counter-productive.
But hey, I'm not judging those like you who find it useful, and maybe I just can't see the potential because I haven't used it yet, but... yeah... meh...

Update has been working well, except dictation seems to be spotty, with entire phrases of what I've said missing. Tried with AirPods (Pros 2) and iPhone mic itself.
If you have depression, the last thing you want is to be looking at unnecessary apps, especially thinking about the past. Forget the past and concentrate on the present and future. This app is a waste of time, and just like many apps that apple introduced I will never ever open them, such as screen time, pointless, health data, pointless, I am sure there's more but I deleted them.
I completely agree, if you are sad, the last thing you want is to be fiddling with a pointless app, just go outside go for a run on fresh air, it will make you happier, apps wont make you happier, quite the contrary.
Why? Your memory is so short that you cant remember if you were happy or sad? And why remember it anyway? People should focus on feeling good on the present and future, there is nothing you can do about the past, totally pointless feature made for this new generation that live on their phones, every single thing they do they need to take a picture and post on social media, as if anyone cared, and now this. People will actually get depressed by being on their phones all the time.
That’s fine that’s it’s a waste of time for you but managing depression for me means taking a look at how I’m feeling in specific moments and overall trends. That’s literally what I do in therapy and this gives me tools to do that while I’m not in a session or when I can’t afford therapy. Thinking about the past is actually important to me in handling my depression.
Thank you for your insightful and enlightening comment. I truly believe that Apple introduced this new feature for people like you. I hope it serves you well, my friend. Sending you lots of love! ✌️
