The quality of the air we breathe is, without a doubt, something we must keep in mind to guarantee good health. And keeping it in mind gets to know what is the quality of the air around ussomething that we can consult from our iPhone or Apple Watch.
An index of the most important information and lots of additional information about our iPhone
The weather app of our iPhone collects the air quality index ready for consultation. Doing it is very simple, the steps are as follows:
- We open the application Time on our iPhone.
- We enter the place that interests us or touch My position.
- We scroll until we find the map Air quality .
Here we will see the information in several different ways. Depending on our location, we can see a numerical value of said quality. In addition, we will always see the title of this one, in this capture “Reasonably good”. Additionally, we are shown a comparison with previous measurementsfor example “Air quality is worse than yesterday at this time”, to give us an easier context to follow.
With these classifications, we see the index distributed in a graph, so that a single glance lets us know how the situation is. Let’s keep in mind that the further to the right the indicator, the worse It will be the air quality.
Finally, and also very important, we can address see moreto see what is the main pollutant. Here, in addition to the information just mentioned, we can see the presence of which material lowers the air quality. In this case, it is “nitrogen oxides”.
In certain seasons and in certain places, one of the main factors responsible for lower air quality is pollen, responsible for so many allergies. Therefore, being able to consult, always in see moreand to the presence of pollen is highis, for many, the most interesting.
Less information, but very close on the Apple Watch
Most of this information we can also see on our Apple Watch. On our watch we have two options to access the air quality index. One is to use a complication, the other is to enter the Weather app.
In the first case, just set the Time complication to our sphere by choosing “Air quality”
In the second case, it suffices that Let’s open the Weather app on our Apple Watch. Just below the forecast, which is displayed in a circular fashion, we will see the Air Quality Index. Here we will just be informed about the metric, along with its assigned color, without further details.
As we have already started by saying, the quality of the air we breathe has a direct and relevant impact on our health. Thus, being able to act accordingly based on the value of this metric is most interesting. And our iPhone or Apple Watch they give us the tools to do it.
