First look: Register as an organ donor with Donate Life America in Apple's iOS 10 Health app

As of iOS 10 beta 2, the link to register as a donor is found in the native Health app, under the Medical ID tab. There, Apple has added a new Organ Donation section that reads:

"A single organ donor can save as many as eight lives. That's why Apple has made it easy to sign up with Donate Life America's organ donation registry."

The Health app includes a "Learn More" link to the organization's official website, which opens in Safari. Below it is a "Sign Up with Donate Life" link that brings up a registration form within the Health app.

Users must enter their first and last name, date of birth, the last four of their Social Security number, email address, home address and sex. Apple notes that the information is provided to Donate Life America and is not sent to Apple.

Accordingly, the Medical ID feature also includes an organ donor section. Even if you don't register through Donate Life America, you can still state on your Medical ID that you are an organ donor.

iOS 10 beta 2 was issued to developers on Tuesday. The final public release of the update is scheduled to arrive this fall, likely in late September.
