Google Health 5.02 adds nap tracking and delete controls

Google Health 5.02 is rolling out to both iOS and Android, focusing on easier nap tracking, stronger controls for editing and deleting sleep sessions, and faster nutrition logging. Some tweaks—like Android-only reordering of key Health charts and separate nap

For anyone who’s ever tried to fix a sleep record and felt the app fight back. Google Health’s latest update lands at the right time. With Google Health 5.02 rolling out to both iOS and Android. the message is clear: you should be able to see your sleep more clearly—especially naps—and take fuller control over the data you’ve logged.

This is the second major update since Google rebranded the Fitbit app to Google Health. Google Health 5.01 arrived at the start of June, and now 5.02 follows, with more coming in the next few weeks.

The most noticeable change is about rest during the day. Google is splitting naps away from the main Sleep Score view. In this release. recorded naps are easier to find and view over time on Android by placing them on separate tabs inside the daily Sleep Score view. Google says iOS support for naps on separate tabs is coming in its next release, 5.03.

Control over sleep data gets a sharper upgrade too. Google Health 5.02 includes improvements that make editing sleep sessions work when it previously didn’t. It also adds full support for deleting sleep sessions.

The update also tightens day-to-day usability in ways that will matter for anyone living inside the app’s routines. On the Today tab. the Nutrition tile has been updated to include calorie intake as the top number and calories remaining as the bottom number. replacing the previous metrics that focused on net calories. The app also improves food search speed on both Android and iOS. and on Android. results now show serving units and calories. On iOS, those serving-unit-and-calorie result details are listed as “coming soon.”.

If you prefer logging with quick previews, Google has added macronutrient estimations directly to the main logging page. That means users can see macro previews before completing a log.

Google is also bringing back a finer-grained rhythm to activity insights. Hourly activity is back in the Today and Health tabs, with charts showing hourly step goal per hour. To add it to your dashboards, the app uses the pencil icon on Today and “Customize” on Health.

On Android in 5.02, there are additional customization changes that don’t yet apply to iOS. Google says users can now reorder metrics in the Key Metrics section of the Health tab by dragging and dropping charts. The steps it provides are specific: tap Customize. long press the chart you want to move. then drag it to the location you want. This is described as available on Android in 5.02 and coming soon to iOS in the next release, 5.03.

Sleep isn’t just naps and controls, though. Google also says it adjusted how restlessness appears by moving the Restlessness bar closer to the sleep stages graph. making it easier to view Restlessness and Awake data together. It also says it improved minor awake moments detection, with more improvements to follow.

Google’s community post also points to bug fixes designed to smooth out edge cases that users were running into. On the fitness side. it says exercise summaries are fixed for issues where steps and distance were incorrectly reported as 0 for certain manually logged activities. It also notes that automatically detected bike rides were reporting low distances when they shouldn’t. and that distance reporting for automatically detected bike rides isn’t currently supported.

Data control extends beyond sleep, too. In Google Health 5.02. users can delete individual exercise sessions. food logs. and weight logs synced from other apps directly inside Google Health—without having to visit Privacy Center. The flow is simple: tap the session or log you want to delete. then use either the three-dot icon or the trash can icon.

There’s a split in what happens depending on where the record came from. If the session or log was imported from Health Connect or Apple Health. Google says the user is directed to the respective platform to complete the deletion—and that this will delete the record from that platform too. If the session or log was imported from a direct integration, the deletion can be completed inside Google Health.

Looking ahead, Google says that in the future, users will be able to delete sessions or logs imported from Health Connect or Apple Health in Google Health without also needing to delete them from those platforms.

Taken together. the update reads like Google Health is trying to make the app feel less like a dashboard that edits you. and more like a tool that works with you—whether that means separating naps into their own view. fixing sleep session editing. letting users fully delete sleep sessions. or making it easier to adjust what you see on the Today and Health tabs.
