Use Cycle Tracking in the Samsung Health app

Cycle tracking in the Samsung Health app allows you to track your menstrual cycle by entering your period dates. You’ll be able to manage your cycle in order to predict the dates of your next period, as well as record your daily physical condition and mood. To increase the tracking accuracy, you can pair this feature with a compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring, which allows you to measure your body’s temperature while sleeping.

Use Cycle tracking features

Cycle tracking predicts and provides the expected dates of your next period, your expected fertile periods, and your expected ovulation dates, based on your cycle history.

 

To improve the accuracy of these predictions, you can wear a compatible device with a skin temperature sensor, such as the Galaxy Watch5 or newer model, or a Galaxy Ring. However, wearing a compatible device is not required for predictions. Please see the next section for details.

  1. To begin using Cycle tracking, navigate to and open the Samsung Health app on your phone, then tap the Home tab, and then tap the Cycle tracking tile.

Skin temperature predictions

Note
Skin temperature can be affected by the surrounding environment. During sleep, it is recommended to maintain a consistent wearing method, such as position, posture, clothing, and room temperature. Skin temperature measurement may be affected if the room temperature is too high or too low.

The Skin temperature measurement feature records your body’s temperature while you're sleeping. In order for the recording to remain accurate, you must sleep for a minimum of 4 consecutive hours between 7 PM and 9 AM. The feature will not measure your temperature during daytime hours.

 

You can record your temperature using a Galaxy Watch5 or newer watch model, or a Galaxy Ring. If you have both devices, it’s best to choose only one to ensure you can obtain a proper measurement over time. This is due to temperature differences between your wrist and finger.

  1. Navigate to and open the Samsung Health app on your phone, then tap the Home tab, and then tap the Cycle tracking tile.

  3. Make sure to wear your Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring while sleeping. The next time you are checking your cycle information in Samsung Health, you can tap Predict period with skin temp on the Cycle tracking screen to view your skin temperature data.
