Accurately tracking periods and symptoms may help your doctor make important diagnoses, which is critical in risk assessment, prevention of some unwanted effects of the disease, and implementation of changes in your routine for better health.
Cycle Tracking is available on every iPhone globally in the Health app, and on Apple Watch. The feature encourages users to stay in touch with their menstrual cycles and the symptoms they are experiencing during it, and track that information next to all of their other health information.
Like all health data, Cycle Tracking data is encrypted and only accessible with the user’s passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. Users’ health data is never shared with anyone or with Apple without users’ explicit permission.
The Health app provides users with granular control of which data types can be read or written by third-party apps, and users can review and manage those permissions at any time.
