A new Kids mode is coming to Apple Watch in watchOS 7.
Activity rings are being updated to track active minutes instead of active calories.
The new feature is expected to be announced at WWDC in June.


The Activity rings on Apple Watch have always been a way to stay motivated every day. In Apple's upcoming watchOS 7 update, it sounds like they are about to get even better for kids.

The Activity rings currently track your Move, Exercise, and Stand goals to help you live a more active day.
