How to Use the New Menopause Tracking in Health in iOS 27

iOS 27 adds new menopause and perimenopause tracking tools inside the Health app, making it easier to log symptoms, review cycle changes, and receive alerts when your cycle patterns show possible changes linked to perimenopause. The feature sits inside Cycle Tracking, so users can manage period history, symptoms, cycle factors, and menopause-related insights in one place.
