Two lines on the pregnancy test, yet the smartphone still shows the next period in the calendar. Google Health aims to prevent this in the future. The app will receive a feature for pregnant women and can directly display which week of pregnancy they are in after an entry is made. At the same time, the app will suspend period forecasts and reminders.
Pregnancy Can Be Recorded in Google Health
The update is part of version 5.12, which has been gradually rolled out for Android smartphones and iPhones since November 6, 2026. To log a pregnancy, users open the “Health” section and select “Cycle” under “Focus Areas.” Then, “More” and the cycle settings lead to the corresponding option.
Those with a premium subscription using the AI coach can also log the pregnancy directly in the chat. The assistant will then take this information into account in its movement tips.

Google Health Gets Blood Pressure Diary
With the update, Google is also expanding features related to blood pressure. Users can manually enter their readings under “Today.” Alternatively, the app can import values from other health applications. On the iPhone, this works through Apple Health, and on Android devices through Health Connect. In the “Heart” section, Google Health then displays the history as a curve.

Blood sugar can also be tracked more precisely. Under “Metabolism,” the app shows a corresponding curve and marks logged meals, as well as exercise and sleep. This allows users to see, for example, if the value rises after lunch. Users can add information directly to the graph. Foods logged within an hour are grouped in the nutrition diary by the app.
Error in Resilience Index Fixed
Premium users following a training plan can find their progress in the “Fitness” section. Under “Mental Well-being,” Google Health also features the Resilience Index. This is intended to show how well the body copes with stress and recovers afterward. For the calculation, the app uses the heart rate recorded by a connected smartwatch or fitness band.
However, there was initially an error with this index. Some users were shown values that were too low. Google corrected the issue on its servers on October 29, 2026, so new values have been accurate since then. The incorrect assessments from May to October had already been stored by that time. Google plans to correct these separately.
