Quick Access Widget

Google Health has started rolling out version 5.0 of the Fitbit app for Android devices, introducing a new homescreen Quick Access Widget that replaces the previous Steps widget. This widget can display up to six different metrics simultaneously and allows users to customize their interface by removing certain elements. It includes a heart icon for direct app access, quick navigation to the Health Coach feature, and indicates the last update time. The update also features a new Google Health icon, phasing out Fitbit branding for software, while Fitbit branding remains for hardware. Version 5.0 is necessary for setting up the upcoming Fitbit Air, with the rollout starting on May 19 and expected to be fully available by May 26.
