Checking your heart rate with just your iPhone and an app requires you to place your finger over the camera lense and it then detects your puls by detecting changes in your skin colour. ?Theoretically heart rate is measured directly with a sensor placed over your heart and this is how dedicated heart rate monitors work, they are a strap with the sensor you wear around your chest.
Here is part of the app description of the app Andy mentioned, Heart Rate free, note that this app has not been updated in over 4 years: The applications detects how the colour of your finger changes when blood flows into it. Similar to the way that a medical pulse oximeter works. Please note, this app is intended to be used for fun only and should not be used for any medical purposes… When I did the google search a bunch of these apps came up, another one is Instant Heart Rate + HR Monitor<https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/instant-heart-rate-hr-monitor/id395042892?mt=8>. It was updated just a few days ago, receives a very high rating, but it is not free. The app is $6.99 in Canada, probably $4.99 US and of course I don't know if it is accessible.

Heart Rate Free will give you a check of your heart rate.
