No. Supported readings can sync from Apple Health or Health Connect. The Apple Watch companion reads existing heart-rate measurements when available; it does not take continuous measurements. Compatible Wear OS watches can also share readings during a user-started session. Maps, status notes, history, and shared friend data work without a watch.

When the traveler uses an iPhone, the time comes from Apple Maps on their phone and changes with traffic. When that time isn’t current, or when they use Android, it’s an estimate from the distance left and their pace, shown as “about”. Updates arrive about once a minute while the traveler moves.

Once you turn a signal on for someone, their app shows your new stamps and tickets as updates become available — HeartRay does not force a new heart-rate measurement or guarantee continuous updates. Always check the measurement timestamp shown next to each reading.
