Google Health has rolled out version 5.01, a significant update that resolves multiple long-standing bugs affecting sleep tracking, fitness logging, and nutrition data. The update improves reliability across core features and begins rolling out to Android and iOS users globally. This marks one of the most user-impacting updates since Google acquired Fitbit, addressing community-reported issues that degraded trust in the app’s accuracy.

Key fixes include proper labeling of runs versus other workouts, restoration of missing splits in run summaries, and resolution of map-loading issues during GPS exercise tracking. On iOS, a bug that double-counted steps when both Apple Health and Mobile Track were enabled has been fixed. Sleep Scores, previously missing for some users, are now consistently displayed in the Sleep tab.

Nutrition tracking sees notable improvements: custom foods can now be viewed and logged if previously created, third-party meal logs from apps like MyFitnessPal and LoseIt now show correct meal types instead of 'Other', and default food names are added when Apple Health logs lack them. The update also enhances accessibility with better VoiceOver and TalkBack support on iOS, and resolves account migration blocks for former Fitbit users switching to Google accounts.
