You can now use your Samsung smartphone to track your menstrual cycle

The Samsung Health app will start offering one of the features most requested by the user community. According to the SamMobile website, the technology will make available, with the update 6.9.0.55, a tool that will allow you to monitor menstrual cycles.

In comparison with the competition, the company was late to the segment. Both Apple, Fitbit or Garmin already offered style tools, as well as several dozen other applications that you can download to your smartphone.

The functionality will be integrated into a women's health section, which has long been required in Samsung's forums.

As the Engadget portal underlines, the effectiveness of these applications depends on the way they are used. To estimate when the next period starts, the app uses the records of past cycles to calculate dates, so the forecast tends not to fail. However, the results tend not to be as reliable when the calculation is made in relation to the fertile period.

This addition is part of the project that Samsung is undertaking to make Health a more comprehensive and comprehensive application of the various dimensions of human health. In 2019, the app gained meditation exercises, relaxation and sleep tools.
