With the Google Fitbit Air now in the hands of many users, we would like to open a space for a structured discussion regarding your experiences.

Our goal is to gather honest, community-driven feedback on how the fitbit air integrates into your day-to-day life.

Whether you are a long-time Fitbit user or new to the ecosystem, we invite you to share your thoughts on the following:

  • The Form Factor: How does the "screenless" design impact your ability to track and manage your daily activity?

  • The User Experience: How has the setup and transition to the new Google Health app feeling for you?

  • Health Insights: Have you found the Gemini-powered health coaching to be actionable and useful?

  • General Performance: Are there any specific wins or friction points you have encountered in the first few weeks?

📌 A Note on Feedback: While we encourage robust discussion here, please remember that this subreddit is a community-run space. To ensure your specific feature requests, bug reports, or product suggestions reach the Google Health product teams directly, please use the in-app feedback tool: > How to submit feedback: Within the Google Health app, tap on your Profile icon in the corner, scroll to the bottom, and select "Send Feedback." > This is the most effective way to ensure your data and use cases are captured by the engineering and product teams.

Confused about calorie intake and sync?

Is there a way to sync tracked calorie intake from other apps? I'm using Garmin and YAZIO to track my calorie intake. While the sync between the two works I did not manage to import my eaten calories in Google Health.

is this not possible atm, or only with certain other apps? Any help is appreciated!

What’s at the top of your Google Health wishlist? ✨

Hey everyone! I’m curious to see what you think is missing from the Google Health ecosystem. Which of these features would make the biggest difference in your daily routine if Google added it tomorrow?

Vote below, and let’s discuss why in the comments!

  • Deep Health Connect Syncing: More robust, two-way data sharing between third-party fitness apps and the core Google Health ecosystem.
  • Advanced Analytics & Export: Native, easy support for exporting raw data (CSV/JSON) for your own custom tracking and analysis.
  • Better Sleep & Recovery Insights: More advanced, AI-driven analysis of sleep stages, HRV, and readiness scores.
  • Community-Driven Insights: An optional "anonymized comparison" feature to see how your activity levels and metrics stack up against others in the community.
  • Dashboard Customization: More freedom to rearrange, hide, or resize the data cards on your main home screen.
  • Something else: Drop a comment below with your specific request!

Note: While we love discussing these ideas here, don't forget to use the "Send Feedback" option inside your Google apps so the development teams see your requests directly.

Weather data?

It may sound silly, but... Could Health take the local weather into account when judging exercises? It knows our location and the time already, and Google already knows the weather... So it shouldn't be difficult, and it SHOULD add some important data to outdoor workouts, as your physical stats like heartbeat WILL be affected by strong heat or high humidity for example.

Google Health app 5.02 update - June 2026

Hello Google Health Community, We’re excited to announce that version 5.02 of the Google Health app is rolling out starting today! The rollout will continue over the next week in phases depending on carrier and device. With your feedback, we are committed to continuously improving the Google Health app, and this release builds on improvements in the prior 5.01 release.

Software versions

  • Android: 5.02
  • iOS: 5.02

What’s Included

Today Tab Updates

  • More metrics on Today: You can now expand your focus metrics dashboard on the Today tab to see more metrics without having to swipe right or visit another tab. Tap the pencil icon and then select “Expanded view” to see more metrics on Today.
  • Easier re-ordering of your metrics on Today: We’ve made it easier to change the order of your metrics on Today. In Edit mode (tap the pencil icon), you can now tap a metric and then select the metric you want to replace it.

Health Tab Updates

  • Easier re-ordering of Key Metrics (Android only): We’ve also made it easier to change the order of your metrics in the Key Metrics section of the Health tab. You can now drag and drop to re-arrange your charts. Tap Customize, long press on the chart you want to move, and then drag it to your desired location. Available on Android in 5.02. Coming soon to iOS in our next release (5.03).

Sleep Updates

  • Restlessness Updates: The Restlessness bar is now closer to your sleep stages graph, so you can better see Restlessness and Awake data together. We’ve also improved minor awake moments detection, with more improvements to follow.
  • Naps (Android only): Recorded naps are now easier to find and view over time. You can now see your naps on separate tabs in your daily Sleep Score view. Coming soon to iOS in our next release (5.03).
  • Deleting sleep sessions: Deleting sleep sessions is fully supported.
  • Editing sleep sessions: We’ve fixed an issue where some users could not edit their sleep sessions.

Fitness and Activity Updates

  • Hourly Activity: Hourly activity is back. See charts for your hourly activity (step goal per hour) in the Today and Health tabs. Use the pencil icon on Today or “Customize” on Health to add Hourly activity to your dashboards.
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements: We’ve fixed issues with exercise summaries including:
    • Steps and distance being incorrectly reported as 0 for certain manually logged activities.
    • Automatically detected bike rides reporting low distances when they shouldn’t (distance reporting for automatically detected bike rides is not currently supported).

Nutrition Updates

  • Food Search: Improved speed in search results on both Android and iOS. Results now show serving units and calories on Android. Coming soon to iOS.
  • Estimated macros when logging: Macronutrient estimations are now displayed on the main logging page, so you can preview them before completing your log.
  • Today tile updates: The Nutrition tile on the Today has been updated to include calorie intake (top number) and calories remaining (bottom number), replacing the previous metrics which focused on net calories.

Managing Logs from Partner Apps

  • You can now delete individual exercise sessions, food logs, and weight logs synced from other apps directly in the Google Health app without having to visit Privacy Center. In the Google Health app, tap on the session or log you want to delete and then either the three-dot or the trash can icon.
  • If the session or log was imported from Health Connect or Apple Health, you’ll be directed to the respective platform to complete the deletion. Note: this will delete the record from that platform too.
  • If the session or log was imported from a direct integration, you’ll be able to complete the deletion in Google Health.
  • In the future, you’ll be able to delete sessions or logs imported from Health Connect or Apple Health in Google Health without having to also delete them from Health Connect or Apple Health.

Hope you enjoy these updates, and be on the lookout for more in the coming weeks!
