You can set this up using the Health app on your iPhone under the Cycle Tracking option on the \u201cBrowse\u201d tab. The feature requires that you log symptoms, including start and end dates, which you can do on either device.<\/p>\n<p>Using an Apple Watch should, in theory, make Cycle Tracking all the more accurate. Heart rate information provided by your Apple Watch can improve predictions, and if you have an Apple Watch Series 8 or newer, the wrist temperature sensor measures changes in your basal temperature while you sleep to improve things even further.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wallet_Apple_Pay\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_9\">Wallet &amp; Apple Pay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-839245\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/apple_wallet_iphone.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Wallet app on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"458\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Apple Pay is now widely accepted and available through most major banks and financial institutions, allowing you to make contactless payments. Once you set up Apple Pay under Watch &gt; Wallet &amp; Apple Pay, you can make purchases using your watch.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re ready, all you need to do is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/230745\/how-to-setup-and-use-apple-pay-on-your-apple-watch\/\">double-tap the Side Button (underneath the Digital Crown) and hover your watch over a contactless payment terminal to complete a transaction.

Your Apple Watch will call emergency services and share your location with them.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re done, any <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/318192\/how-to-show-emergency-medical-information-on-your-iphone\/\">emergency contacts you have nominated in your Medical ID\u00a0will receive a text message (or you can cancel this).
