Apple's Health app (watchOS 27 / iOS 27, announced WWDC June 2026) expanded Cycle Tracking to support menopause and perimenopause.
The feature can send notifications when logged cycle patterns are suggestive of perimenopause, lets users log menopausal/perimenopausal symptoms, and links educational resources.
Apple positions the feature as awareness and preparation support (data for appointments), not a diagnosis.
