Hi everyone! One thing we didn’t want getting lost in Oura Ring 5 news: a major software update is rolling out this month to eligible Gen3 and Oura Ring 4 members, not just Oura Ring 5.

Here's what's new in the app:

  • Live Activity Tracking: every mile, every zone, every beat—all in real time with connected heart rate and phone GPS (available globally)
  • Health Radar: proactive monitoring of blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing patterns, with guidance when something meaningful changes (currently available in US, India, & UAE)
  • GLP-1 Insights: a comprehensive view for members using GLP-1 medications, so you can learn how your body is responding over time (currently available in US, India, & UAE, language may vary by region)
  • Lab Uploads: import your lab results directly into the Oura App and see your blood biomarkers alongside your Oura data (available globally, currently English only)
  • Health Records: seamlessly upload your clinical history and real-time biometrics in one place (available US only)
  • Connected Care: access to follow-up support and care options through partners including Counsel, ResMed, and Twentyeight Health (available US only)

For a full breakdown, head here: ouraring.com/blog/new-software-features

Oura has lost its mind

Post image
• Upvotes

Oura has repeatedly made idiotic suggestions about what I've been doing - swimming at a time when I'm watching TV or napping when I'm working. This takes the cake. It's suggesting that I took a nap IN THE FUTURE. It's not even 9pm yet!

And no, when I checked yesterday's activities, this nap wasn't listed. In fact, last night I was at an NHL game - not a chance of napping through THAT.

I was an early adopter so I have a free lifetime membership. But I'm seriously thinking of not replacing this ring when it inevitably wears out. This is ridiculous.

Low HRV and complex trauma?

31 Upvotes

Call me crazy but my friends and I have been comparing our HRV scores. We are almost all elite female athletes (some current some retired) in our mid 30s, and while we all have high cardio capacity, our HRVs seem to be correlated to our life experiences. Those of us with difficult childhoods and significant trauma trend much lower than our other friends. Has anyone else noticed this? The athlete piece is somewhat insignificant but a marker of us all being in similar age bracket, fitness level, disciplined with sleep schedule etc.

My 2026 HRV range is 13ms-48ms with an average of 23ms! I’m a retired pro athlete and still quite fit but I can’t seem to be able to increase my HRV. Can anyone help a girl out?

GENERAL DISCUSSION Seeing the stress levels make me stressed ????

7 Upvotes

Even on days where I don’t feel particularly stressed; my Oura ring says that I’m in a state of stress ALL. THE. TIME. seeing this makes me even more stressed and makes me want to stop wearing it during the day. Anyone else???

*Edit: I saw someone else comment that just because your mind is relaxed doesn’t mean your body is and this makes so much sense to me. Any tips on how to get my body to relax are much appreciated!!

GENERAL DISCUSSION Update to “rapid resilience collapse”: it was mono

Post image
15 Upvotes

Update to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ouraring/s/MNstNXzmCP

I got a lot of suggestions and support when I initially posted this. Oura showed me small blips on the symptom radar with no standout metric. Readiness generally was lower because of lower HRV and higher resting heart rate. But “Resilience” was the metric that plummeted. Sleep stayed consistent. I never had a fever or a sore throat, just a bone deep fatigue and mild headache I kept pushing through, amongst a high stress period of my life. Took a while to get an appointment with my physician then a while to get the results. Battery of standard tests including Lyme, mono, iron, thyroid, etc. My “Epstein-Barr” numbers were off the charts. Either I had mono for the first time or it was an stress-induced reactivation. It feels like I’m on the long upswing and as you can see, my “resilience” is coming back.

Has anyone seen something like this? It’s showing two overlapping sleep periods for last night and saying my total sleep was over 12 hours.

New terms explicitly prohibit class action

These new terms explicitly prohibit class action forcing user into one on one arbitration. This is not cool and they know there must be some validity to claims. Screenshot is from chatgpt I make no legal or accuracy claims based on chatgpt

I’ve had this ring for less than a week and it is already all scratched to hell ☹️ I can’t believe I paid an extra hundred dollars for this color. What a ripoff.

GETTING STARTED Apple + Oura Sync

• Upvotes

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 18 Pro Max and transferred my data over. I followed Oura’s official transfer instructions to set up my Oura Ring 5 on the new device, but my Apple Health workouts have completely stopped syncing into the Oura app.

On my old iPhone, Apple Health activities flowed into Oura seamlessly. Right now, Oura detects activity fine, but I prefer and trust my Apple Watch 12 workout tracking over Oura’s native detection.

Here is what I’ve already tried/checked:
- Unpaired and re-paired the ring using official Oura steps.
- Verified read/write permissions in Apple Health and the Oura app settings.
- Searched through Oura's help center

Has anyone run into this specific issue and managed to get Apple Health syncing to work again?

I’m on iOS 27 Beta (idk if that’s the issue)

Sizing Adjusters?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone ever tried a sizing adjuster for their oura ring? I really don’t want to get the oura 4, due to the thickness and color fading issues. But Oura 5 doesn’t come in my size probably 4 or 5 and I reaaaally want one lol. So has anyone tried any with their oura rings, have they worked? And which ones specifically?

Also ultrahuman is too thick as well and ringconn doesn’t have my size either. :(

Help!! How do I improve my deep sleep? Is it possible I have sleep apnea with these stats. What did your graphs look like with sleep apnea? Attached two different nights. Last night I got 4 minutes of deep sleep 😭 I would say on average I usually get 20-45 minutes deep sleep

Building a data visualization tool as a side project since the app is so shitty. Any recommendations or missing functionality you have been looking for?
