Google Health app 5.01 update

What’s Included

Nutrition Upgrades

Custom Foods: You can now view and log previously-created custom foods. Adding new custom foods is coming soon.

Macronutrient Goal Guidance: Added explanations and guidance for setting macronutrient goals.

Third-Party Food Log Improvements:

Fixed issue where some meal logs from MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, and LoseIt via Apple Health were labeled as “Other” meal type, instead of the correct type.

Improved handling of meal logs received from the same third-party app when that app is connected to Health Connect and to Google Health directly.

Added default food names when logs from Apple Health do not have a name.

More Controls when Logging on iOS: Made it easier to switch between measurement units when logging meal items from search results.

Chart Improvements: Nutrition and calories charts are now more consistent across the Today, Health, and nutrition deep dive views.

Fitness and Activity Updates

Corrected Workout Labels: Fixed issue where some runs were labeled as other types of workouts. New and previous runs will now be correctly labeled as runs.

Missing Splits: Resolved issue where splits were missing from some run summaries.

Map Loading: Improved loading states for maps from GPS exercises.

Mobile Step Counting on iOS: Fixed issue where steps were counted twice for some users who had turned on both Apple Health and Mobile Track.

Sleep Updates

Sleep Score Reliability: Resolved issues where the Sleep tab was not showing sleep scores for some users.

General Updates

Today Tab on Android: Fixed issue where some users were not seeing up-to-date information in the Today feed on Android. Updated defaults for Cardio Load supported devices for new users.

Account Migration on iOS: Fixed issue blocking some users from migrating their Fitbit account to Google account. If you start the migration flow again, you will be able to move to a Google account.

Friends and Family on iOS: Fixed issue where Friends and Family screen was slow to load or unable to load for some users.

VoiceOver on iOS: Enhanced buttons and charts for VoiceOver and TalkBack.
