Rita El Khoury / Android AuthorityAdd Android Authority on Google: TL;DR Google Health 5.09 is now rolling out for both iOS and Android. The update brings the new Pixel Watch Health Guardian features that were already announced yesterday. We also received some updates related to custom food and activity registration. As Friday quickly comes to an end, what will your weekend be like? Will you be camped out on the couch, catching up on some important reality show? Or will you be out and about, staying active and sweating a lot? If your idea of a good weekend leans a little more towards the healthy side, we have good news for you, as we learn about the latest updates coming for Google Health. We’re seeing the release of Google Health 5.09 for Android and iOS, and the big news here is something we already talked about earlier this week: new Pixel Watch Health Guardian features. Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5 owners will find that their wearables will have the ability to track blood pressure, record insulin resistance trends, and offer new data on the quality of breathing during sleep. However, you don’t have to have a Pixel Watch to get anything from this Google Health update, and even Garmin and Apple Watch models are getting new support: the ability to sync workouts and have them contribute to your cardiovascular load. As long as your wearable device measures your heart rate, Google Health will be able to take advantage of it. Speaking of workouts, the app is getting some new options for how you can log activities in Fitness and fixing a bug that caused old step streaks to not appear correctly. Finally, if you use Health to track your food intake, the app is improving the way you can enter serving units and meal time for custom foods, as well as fixing a couple of bugs related to them on iOS. Look for Google Health 5.09 to arrive on your device soon. Thank you for being part of our community. Please read our Comment Policy before posting.
