Has anybody gotten the respiratory rate detection during sleep tracking to work yet?
Got a tip for us?

I don’t have it enabled because I’m still on iOS 14 but I saw that AutoSleep is updated to support it and they have following to say:
“The most important point here and one that users easily miss is that respiration will only measure if you enable sleep mode on your Apple Watch when you go to bed. Apple have designed it this way. You do not need to be using the Apple Sleep app or using the Apple sleep schedules, you just need to enable Sleep Mode at bedtime to allow the Watch to send your respiration rate data to Health on your iPhone.”

I’m interested to know how it works, it may convince me to update to iOS 15.

AutoSleep - Respiration Rate
Respiration Rate Only for users with an Apple Watch Series 3 or later with WatchOS 8 running (so you must have iOS 15 on your iPhone to get WatchOS 8 on your Apple Watch) Respiration rate will only be measured if you activate the Apple Watch 'sleep mode' when you go to bed. We describe this more

I got the notification and enabled it a day back, have bedtime set from earlier itself, that's it.
Today I could see the graph for respiration rate in Autosleep graph.

Thank you. I’ve downloaded the app and I’ve had a read of this. Hopefully I remember to turn on sleep mode on my watch before I go to bed.I don’t have it enabled because I’m still on iOS 14 but I saw that AutoSleep is updated to support it and they have following to say:

I think if you set a bedtime (can't recall if setting is in Health, Clock or Watch app on iPhone), you can have sleep mode activate automatically.
My series 6 Watch currently does this on watchOS 7…
How do you track it during the day? Do you leave your watch in sleep mode?
I’ve been tracking at night time since I downloaded the app.
Sorry for the confusion. I don't use AutoSleep to track during the day. I use an app called wHealth Dashboard.

I’d like to clarify one thing:Respiratory rate samples are as far as I know only taken while sleep focus is active. wHealth reads and displays them in graphs, complications, widgets … but does not create respiratory rate samples by itself. This feature is unfortunately not available for third parties apps for now
If you get samples during the day, I’d be very curious to know from which app they are created.
Could you let us know?
Thanks ?
I want to measure the respiratory rate on the Apple Watch. I am told that in order to measure the respiratory rate one has to switch on the sleep focus on the iPhone and the Apple Watch.
If I am not wrong, the moment you switch on the sleep focus the notifications and incoming phone calls get silenced automatically. Is there any way to just enable the sleep mode or sleep focus but without disabling the incoming phone calls and any notifications from apps.
Alternatively is there any way to measure the respiratory rate without switching on the sleep focus on the Apple Watch thanks.

Is there a way to turn on sleep focus from the watch? The only way I found was to do it from the phone.
I haven’t done it but I’m almost positive you can create a Focus Shortcut on the phone and run it via the Shortcuts app on the watch
er... yeah, that might work. Pretty convoluted, though, lol.
thanks for the help, much appreciated.
It looks like you can turn on the sleep focus through the control center using the focus switch.
Hello, first time poster here ? you can toggle sleep focus on the watch in control centre, just swipe up from the bottom of the watch and press the focus icon

If you scroll to the bottom of control centre and press edit can you add the focus icon?
