All the female fitness freaks, Fitbit has good news for you!

Fitbit has introduced two new features: Female health tracking, available on the iOS and Windows apps (with Android coming later), and quick replies for Android users with an Ionic or Versa. In addition to that, Fitbit has also announced that it now supports several additional health-related apps.

The company announced that female health tracking was coming a couple months ago when the company unveiled the Versa. It lets the user log data about their menstrual cycle and record details about symptoms like cramps or acne. Fitbit will then take this information to make cycle predictions that should get more accurate the longer they use it (and actively log information). You can then see this information along with all your other Fitbit data, like activity, sleep, and weight, in one place within the app. Starting this month, Fitbit users who have identified themselves as female in their profile will receive a notification that female health tracking is available, and they can opt-in.
