Google is beginning to roll out the update to Google Health that brings it up to version 5.01 which is the June Update, and although it doesn’t appear to be a massive update, it does include some notable changes. The update started rolling out the week of June 4 and has continued to reach all users. The important bit about the update for people that have been using the app since Google launched it, is that there are some fixes to what could only be described as very annoying bugs.
Google launched Google Health earlier this year after it began transitioning the Fitbit app into Google Health as a more unified offering. This transition has been part of its plan to put stuff under the Google umbrella as far as labels are concerned. It slowly started phasing out the Fitbit app on phones and tablets, and has since moved to phasing out the app on watches too.
Google Health app update version 5.01 lets you log custom foods
One of the key changes coming to the app with this update is the ability to log custom foods. To be clear, this isn’t all custom foods. Right now it’s only custom foods that were previously created. However, you’ll be able to log new custom foods in the future. Google plans to add this capability in a future update.
Google is also adding improvements to third-party food logging. As well as a feature to receive guidance on how to reach your macronutrient goals. Additionally, the update now labels workouts correctly. For example, some users were going on runs and the app would label those runs as different types of workouts. Google says this has now been fixed.
The loading states from Maps have been improved as well, and the Today Feed on Android will no show updated information for people that weren’t seen the most recent details.
