The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 has integrated a few new features compared to last year’s model. One of these novelties is the possibility of controlling the menstrual cycle. It is something very important in the life of every woman and that they go through every month. Once again, thanks to technology it can be managed from the wrist itself.
The menstrual cycle monitoring function is something that has been present in all premium smartwatches and many smartbands for some time. Manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung or Huawei have integrated it into different wearables. This function has been released for the first time on the Mi Band 5. However, this function is not available by default , so we will not find it among the options of the bracelet.
Where to find the “cycles” function
In order to find this valuable tool, we will have to activate it from the Mi Fit application. For this reason, we are going to see step by step how to find the menstrual cycle function and how to activate it on the Mi Band 5. Therefore, and once we have the bracelet paired with the Mi Fit app, we will have to go to the “ Profile ”located in the upper right corner. Once inside we will have to enter the section “My Band 5” to enter the options of the bracelet.
Now we will have to enter the configuration of the screen, which is where you can add or remove the elements that appear on the Mi Band 5. This option will appear at the bottom, that is, in the hidden functions. Now we just have to hold down the three lines with our finger and drag the function up. Then click on save and the function will be added to the bracelet.
Complete personal information
The next step is to go back to the training tab, where we can see the option “Cycles” and we will have to touch it to be able to complete the personal information. In this section there will be questions necessary for the application to make its calculations correctly such as how long the menstrual period lasts, how long the cycle lasts or when the last menstrual period began. Once this data is completed, the app will be able to predict the cycle in greater detail.
When finished, we will have to press to activate the menstrual cycle prediction function . Now, the bracelet will be ready with the menu inside the Mi Band 5. When we open the tool it will tell us when the menstrual days will begin. All the complete information will always be in Mi Fit, within the “Cycles” option.
