Enabling the new AFib History feature requires that you disable AFib notification. You are then given a weekly summary of any AFib episodes, but do you give up real time notifications of AFib? Is it an either or proposition or can you have both? If not, why not? What is the reasoning behind this by Apple?
Hello KMB_12 and thank you for your reply. In accordance with other questions on the forum about AFib features, I have already reviewed the links you referred me to and they do not address my questions.
AFib features are pretty important and I think if Apple is going to get involved in adding medical features to its watch, I think they owe users and especially the medical community more than general cursory explanations regarding these features.
Thanks

I have the same question about AFib History and Notifications. Getting AFib notifications is very important to me. I have occasional problems AFib and want to get notifications when they occur. The immediate warnings allow me to consider about what I have possibly eaten, alcohol consumption, or medications taken to cause the problem. That would be hard to do with only a week history report.
A history of AFib reports would also be helpful to review long-term trends or share with my doctor. Even if you only have an occasional AFib event. The AFib notifications are annoying because they're supposed to be and understand that people with regular AFib problems would want to turn them off and only review the history reports.
But please give users the ability to turn on, or off, the AFib notifications and history reports. The iWatch AFib detection feature is very useful, and the app should give users all the options they need to monitor their heart health.
Thanks,
Chris
