The company detailed v5.07 in a community post for the Google Health app this morning (Aug 28). This update is rolling out for Android and iOS users late this week, bringing three important "Activity and Fitness" updates.
What happened
These improvements concern the Health app's manual workout logging capabilities. Google says users can now "add and adjust more metrics when logging an exercise manually. " Any edits made should now appear more quickly in your workout summary.
Where the sources line up
What's more, Google Health now lets users add more metrics and workout information when switching from pool swimming to an open swim exercise.
Practical impact for readers
If you're taking things outside, the patch notes state the maps experience has been upgraded. Users should experience faster loading times and "smoother rendering. " The patch also solves a bug where some users wouldn't see a map after finishing a run or a long walk. Similarly, the patch this week brings trail runs and incline runs into your "Running Distance" totals.
Who should pay attention now
For weight trackers, Google highlights its work in bringing more clarity to trends. Users should be able to notice changes more easily in the weight graph. Lastly, a connection problem between Health Connect and certain Android phones has been fixed.
What is still unclear
Focus on key stats in Google Health: July update drops tiles and more on Android The main course: Google Health app focuses on Nutrition Logging in another Android update Google Health returns 'Hourly Activity' in June, tosses in extra for Android Consistency is key.
