One of the flagship new features of Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Series 11 is hypertension notifications. But in a welcome surprise, watchOS 26 brings the new hypertension feature to select older Apple Watch models<\/a> too. Here\u2019s how to set it up, and which models are compatible.<\/p>\n Compatibility requirements for Apple Watch hypertension alerts<\/p>\n Hypertension notifications are now available in watchOS 26 for the following Apple Watch models:<\/p>\n Apple Watch Series 11<\/p>\n Apple Watch Series 10<\/p>\n Apple Watch Series 9<\/p>\n Apple Watch Ultra 3<\/p>\n Apple Watch Ultra 2<\/p>\n To activate the feature, you will also need an iPhone 11 or later that\u2019s running iOS 26.<\/p>\n Apple has some additional listed requirements<\/a> to use the feature:<\/p>\n Wrist Detection must be enabled<\/a> on your Apple Watch<\/p>\n You must be 22 years or older, not pregnant, and have not been diagnosed with hypertension<\/p>\n The activation process for hypertension notifications involves confirming most of these details when prompted.<\/p>\n How to use hypertension feature in watchOS 26<\/p>\n Once you have met all of the requirements listed above, here\u2019s what Apple says<\/a> you need to do to enable hypertension notifications.<\/p>\n Follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n On your iPhone, open the Health app<\/p>\n Tap your\u00a0profile icon in the upper corner<\/p>\n Under Features, tap \u2018Health Checklist\u2019<\/p>\n Tap \u2018Hypertension Notifications\u2019<\/p>\n Confirm your age and if you\u2019ve ever been diagnosed with hypertension, then tap Continue<\/p>\n Tap Next to follow the onscreen prompts to learn how the notifications work<\/p>\n Tap Done<\/p>\n After walking through the setup process, you won\u2019t start getting hypertension notifications immediately.<\/p>\n That\u2019s because Apple needs 30 days to gather initial data before it can accurately predict whether you might be demonstrating a pattern of hypertension.<\/p>\n Apple explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n Your Apple Watch can analyze data collected by the optical heart sensor and notify you if it detects a pattern of hypertension. This is done over 30 day evaluation periods, starting from the day you set up hypertension notifications.<\/p>\n For more information, visit the full support document<\/a> on Apple\u2019s website.<\/p>\n Best Apple Watch accessories<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
