Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition that can harm your heart, blood vessels, and other organs over time. Your Apple Watch can help by using its optical heart sensor to track your heart data. If it notices signs of high blood pressure, it will alert you. The watch checks your data over a 30-day period, starting from the day you turn on hypertension notifications.
With watchOS 26, hypertension notifications are now available on several Apple Watch models, including Series 11, Series 10, Series 9, Ultra 3, and Ultra 2. To use this feature, you also need an iPhone 11 or later running iOS 26. Once set up, your watch can help you monitor your blood pressure and alert you to any patterns of hypertension.
