??????Most of the mhealth apps were 
developed for the COVID-19 containment and healthcare provision 
during the pandemic.Functions of mhealth apps 
include providing distance healthcare services through virtual visits via 
text, audio and video conversations, personal monitoring and tracking, 
population health education, epidemic tracking, and making 
appointments.Mhealth refers to the 
use of mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable 
devices, patient monitoring devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), 
and other wireless devices to deliver healthcare services through apps 
developed for these purposes .In line with these measures, the Saudi MOH has developed 
and launched different mhealth apps to continue the provision of 
healthcare services, tracking the movement of individuals to ensure 
social distancing, population education, virus tracking, test result 
reporting, and tracking infection status.There are numerous functions, uses, 
and applications of mhealth in different medical specialities and 
disciplines such as medication management, chronic care management, 
women's health, personal health record, healthcare and fitness, nutrition 
and diet, and patient education apps .To 
prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Saudi government took necessary 
measures, including complete and partial curfew, the suspension of mass 
gatherings like praying in mosques, domestic and international flights, 
and social and sports events.In 
Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Health (MOH), in its vision, states that it 
strives to deliver best-quality integrated and comprehensive healthcare 
services to the population.Other prevention measures included the practice of socialdistancing, mandatory use of masks, and the introduction of awareness 
campaigns.To realize the vision, the MOH has developed 
a business strategy that depends on eHealth as a primary transformation 
policy to enhance the provision of healthcare services to meet the 
growing demand and the increasing costs of these services.With the ever-growing number of smartphones users, mobile 
applications have increased rapidly worldwide.These mobile 
applications have been developed for different fields, including health.??????????????????????
