New Apple update will push iPhone users to become organ donors

Apple are encouraging US iPhone users to become organ donors with their next software update in an effort to reduce America’s longstanding donor shortage.

A new feature on the iPhone Health app will allow users to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor “with just a few taps.” Anyone who signs up within the app will have their registration automatically sent to the National Donate Life Registry.

The new feature will become available this fall on Apple’s latest software update, the iOS 10, with public beta testing starting later this month.
