Google is rolling out version 5.01 of its Google Health app<\/a> on Android and iOS. This is the first update for the app after its recent name change and redesign.
Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority<\/em>?<\/strong>
The latest Google Health update introduces a mix of new nutrition tools and bug fixes to improve food tracking, fitness data accuracy, and sleep insights.
Google\u2019s community post<\/a> notes that the update is beginning to roll out today and will continue expanding over the next week, with availability varying by device and carrier.
One of the biggest additions is support for viewing and logging previously created custom foods. While users still can\u2019t create new custom foods inside the app, Google says that capability is coming in a future update. The company has also added guidance for setting macronutrient goals, which should make it easier for users to understand and configure nutrition targets.
Food logging is getting several quality-of-life improvements as well. Google has fixed issues that caused some meals imported from third-party services<\/a> such as MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, and Lose It to appear under the wrong meal category. The app also handles duplicate logs more intelligently when users connect the same service through multiple integrations, and it now assigns default names to unnamed food entries imported through Apple Health.
On the fitness-tracking front, Google notes that it has fixed a bug that incorrectly labeled some runs as other workout types, and that both new and historical runs now display correctly. Users should also see missing split data restored in affected run summaries, and GPS-based workout maps now load more reliably.
Sleep tracking is also receiving attention, with Google fixing a problem that prevented some users from seeing sleep scores in the Sleep tab.
Elsewhere, the company has resolved the problem of stale information appearing in the Today feed on Android, Fitbit account migration failures on iOS, and slow-loading Friends and Family screens. Accessibility improvements for VoiceOver and TalkBack users are also included.
While there aren\u2019t many new features here, the update should improve the Google Health experience<\/a> overall. Google also previously revealed<\/a> a massive list of changes, new features, and updates coming to Google Health over the next few months.
