Enhanced Manual Workout Logging
Google Health 5.07 introduces improvements for users who manually log exercises. Users can now add and adjust a greater number of metrics when logging workouts, and these edits will appear in workout summaries more quickly. Additionally, the update allows for logging more metrics when transitioning between pool and open swim exercises.
Map Performance and Accuracy Updates
The update includes significant enhancements to the maps experience within Google Health. These improvements feature faster loading times, smoother rendering, and better adjustments. An issue where maps were occasionally missing during tracking sessions for running, biking, or walking on a phone has also been fixed. Furthermore, trail runs and incline runs are now correctly counted towards overall running distance totals.
Weight Tracking and Health Connect Fixes
For weight tracking, the weight graph's dynamic minimum and maximum range has been recalibrated to make weight trends and changes easier to view. The update also addresses a critical issue affecting Android users where some lost their connection with Health Connect. Impacted users will now see Health Connect listed correctly in the Partner Apps section of the Connections screen, restoring stability.
