Apple today announced that iOS 27 will expand the Health app’s cycle tracking functionality with dedicated support for perimenopause and menopause, including notifications, symptom logging, and educational resources.
The update will allow Cycle Tracking to detect when a user’s recorded cycle patterns suggest perimenopause and display a notification accordingly. Users will also be able to log associated symptoms directly in the Health app and access educational resources designed to provide guidance and support throughout the transition.
New support for perimenopause and menopause in iOS 27 uses long-term cycle data to detect a hormonal transition that may begin a decade or more before menopause itself. The additions are part of broader improvements to the Health app in iOS 27 that Apple says include more advanced overall cycle tracking, faster data updates in the app, and refreshed design elements.
Apple introduced cycle tracking to iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously with iOS 13 and watchOS 6, and has gradually deepened the feature set since then, most notably with the addition of wrist temperature detection in Apple Watch Series 8, which enabled tracking of basal body temperature and retrospective ovulation estimates.
