Google Health version 5.07 is now available with several improvements to recording and showing workout and health information. Trail and incline runs will be added to Running Distance totals, manually entered workouts can include additional details, and a problem causing Health Connect to lose connection for some Android users has been resolved.

The update is being released on Android and iOS today and will reach additional devices in the coming week. It comes after version 5.05, which introduced two-way Apple Health syncing and Smart Health Links, and version 5.06, which allowed users to hide the Health Coach guidance from the Today tab.

Workout data should appear correctly more often

Users who log workouts manually can now add and modify more metrics in Google Health. The app also ensures that any adjustments appear in workout summaries faster.

Swimming sessions receive similar updates. More metrics can be recorded when alternating between pool and open-water swimming. Additionally, trail runs and incline runs will now contribute to Running Distance totals, providing a fuller picture for those who include these in their routines.

Maps have also been enhanced. They should load quicker and display more fluidly. A bug that sometimes made maps vanish during phone-tracked runs, walks, or bike rides has been corrected.

Health Connect receives important update

Android users facing disconnections between Health Connect and Google Health will find the issue resolved in this version. Health Connect will now show under Partner Apps in the Connections screen for those affected. The weight graph's dynamic minimum and maximum range has been recalibrated to make trends and changes more visible quickly.

Since replacing the Fitbit app in May, Google Health has seen several major updates. Version 5.07 focuses on smaller fixes to ensure existing workout and health data is captured and presented accurately.
