Blood Pressure feature not Available in US

I have a US based Samsung Account, and have Galaxy Watch 8, why am I getting this message for Blood Pressure in Samsung Health Monitor? ECG and Sleep Apnea are working fine.

From what I understand the heart rate monitor is coming in a uodate just recently got approved

Oh good it's not just me - I thought being on 8.5 beta broke it 😅

The are only just now rolling out the update for BP to the health monitor app and watches in phases, starting with the watch 4.  There is no schedule for what date each watch will get their update, but the rollout only began on March 31.  I imagine it will take a couple of months before affected devices get the update.  Watch 8 is probably last.  It looks like they are starting with the models that waited the longest to have it turned on.    It was never going to be a mass deployment to all affected devices at the same time.  Be patient, it will get to you.

If you are showing the BP option in the health monitor app now, it's likely your app updated before your watch did.

Today I got the update on my watch but not on my phone! So I've done little surfing & found the Samsung Health Monitor apk online for the phone via apkmirror.com for it to work - vers-1.4.7.003! To download you have to go into settings & turn off auto blocker! Then download & install! Then it works! To allow sync between the SHM & SH apps open the SHM app on your phone go to settings & select data permissions & allow Samsung Health to sync & connect! It works great! You can do the calibration before doing the sync settings! I did the calibration with my cuff then took another reading after about 15 minutes & they were within couple points! Great tracker & synced perfectly

Thanks everyone for guidance. Got the update today for both watch and phone. It's working now
