Fitbit revealed the Sense and Versa 3 would get the "Snore and Noise Detect" feature. According to 9To5Google, that microphone-powered feature is now beginning to roll out.

There are two metrics being recorded -- Sound intensity and Snoring events.

Fitbit launching Wrist-based Blood Pressure Tracking
Wearable brand Fitbit is researching whether it can measure blood pressure with a new study for Sense smartwatch users.

‘To enable, users can open the Fitbit app and visit the "Sleep" page. Users will see a "Check for snoring" card, with "Learn more" telling you about "Snore and Noise Detect".’

The microphone on the Sense and Versa 3 will "sample, measure and collect information about the noise in the environment" once Fitbit detects the user is asleep, the report said.

This occurs "every few seconds," with snoring by other people in the room also counting, it added.

The company warns that this capability "impacts battery" and it recommends your device be charged at least 40 per cent before going to bed.

Fitbit Updates New Health Features to More Users
Wearable brand Fitbit has rolled out a major update by making new health data available to Charge 4 users and expanding access to previously paywalled information to more users.

Users can always decide to stop using this feature. You can also delete your snore and noise data or your account at any time, the report said.
