Apple has 'Ted Lasso' sticker pack in iMessage, Clips

Apple isn't just promoting its TV+ comedy series, Ted Lasso, with actual stickers. There is now an iMessage Sticker Pack and animated stickers in the Clips app. The stickers showed up around a week ago on the App Store. Unfortunately, these aren't integrated into the TV app. And these are the first ones to show up in the Clips app, too. Here's to hoping Apple eventually makes it easy to use and share these stickers on their different apps.

Source: Fitbit

Fitbit recently announced a multi-year partnership with LifeScan to help its diabetic users manage their health better. It's an extension of an announcement earlier this year where the LifeScan OneTouch Reveal app syncs results with the Fitbit app. In case you didn't know, LifeScan offers services and hardware for those with diabetes to help them manage their disease.

The two companies want to help their users by offering Inspire 2 trackers and access to Fitbit Premium to LifeScan users. It allows these users to manage their activity, workouts, nutrition, and stress. This partnership will be available in the US in the fall.
