I have always used the Heart Rate Plus app and the camera on my previous iPhones to measure my heart rate, but the camera light and lens are further away on the 17 air and now I can’t use my index finger and the camera to measure my heart rate anymore?

Hopefully there is a fix or looks like I might have to buy a iWatch or Fitbit to use for measuring it. Always worked on every previous model iPhone I have had.

Just press on your wrist, count how many beats for 15 seconds and x by 4 = your HR.
