What's New in NearHalo
1.1
September 7, 2026
Setting up NearHalo is faster, and the person you care for now has a simpler app of their own. - Send a setup code by text so your loved one can set up their own phone. You no longer need to be in the same room to get started. - A calmer home screen for the person receiving care: who is looking out for them, their own readings, and one clear way to ask for help. - The Apple Watch app matches it, with the same help control on the wrist. - Pause sharing without disconnecting. Pausing keeps the connection in place, and asking for help while paused resumes sharing. - During live tracking, the banner now states plainly whether your care team was alerted. - Add emergency contacts straight from your Contacts. - Your name and photo now appear to the person you care for. - Notification setup is part of first run, so alerts work from day one. - A lighter, calmer look, with every screen sharing one background. - Rate NearHalo from Settings, under Legal. - Fixes across alerts, the Watch layout, and the complication. NearHalo is for family caregiving and general wellness. It is not a medical device or an emergency service.
