Will you be camped out on the couch, catching up on some all-important reality TV? Or will you be out and about, staying active and working up a good sweat? If your idea of good weekend leans a little more towards the healthy side, we\u2019ve got some good news for you, as we learn about the latest upgrades arriving for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-health-app-two-months-later-3694569\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re looking at the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/googlehealth\/blog\/469959972\/google-health-app-5-09-update-sept-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Google Health 5.09<\/a> for both Android and iOS, and the big news here is something we\u2019ve already talked about earlier this week: new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-watch-health-guardian-3715104\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pixel Watch Health Guardian features<\/a>. Owners of the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5 will find their wearables picking up the ability to track blood pressure, chart insulin resistance trends, and offer new sleep breathing quality data.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to have a Pixel Watch to get something out of this Google Health update, though, and even Garmin and Apple Watch models are getting some new support: the ability to sync workouts and have them contribute towards your Cardio Load. So long as your wearable measures your heart rate, Google Health will be able to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of workouts, the app\u2019s getting some new options for how you\u2019re able to log activities under Fitness, and fixing a bug that\u2019s causing old step streaks to not appear correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you use Health to track your food intake, the app\u2019s improving how you\u2019re able to enter serving units and meal time for custom food items, as well as fixing a couple glitches related to them on iOS.<\/p>\n<p>Look for Google Health 5.09 hitting your device soon.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
