Google Health App Gets Major Update with Enhanced Features
Google has released an update for its Health app, version 5.07, which is now rolling out globally to Android and iOS devices. This update brings several improvements to the app's functionality, particularly for users who engage in running and swimming activities.
The manual exercise recording feature has been made faster and more flexible, allowing users to add and customize more metrics when entering sports data manually. Changes made by users will also appear faster in the exercise summary than in previous versions.
For swimmers, the app now allows tracking of more activity details when switching from swimming in a pool to open waters. Additionally, cross-country running activities and running on uphill paths are now counted as part of the user's total running distance.
The map feature has also been improved, with faster loading times and smoother navigation. Furthermore, an issue that could cause maps not to appear when tracking walking, cycling, or running activity using a device has been fixed.
