Google Health 5.10 Lets You Tell the Coach to Delete Your Mistakes
Google Health 5.10 lets you delete workouts, meals and other logs just by asking the AI coach, and the Readiness Score now uses more sleep data.

Logged the same run twice? Fat-fingered your weight? Google Health version 5.10 adds a fix that sounds minor and turns out to be one of the more practical uses of its AI coach so far: you can now just ask it to delete an entry.
Google Health, the app formerly known as Fitbit, started rolling out 5.10 on October 9. It arrived on iOS right away and is reaching Android users over the course of the week, so if the Play Store doesn’t offer it yet, give it a few days.
Delete by chat
The headline change is conversational cleanup. Open the Google Health Coach, type something like Google’s own example, “Delete the run I logged this morning,” and the entry goes away. It works for daily entries you logged with the coach: workouts, meals, weight and symptoms. It does not touch medical records, which is the right call.
This is the kind of AI feature that earns its keep. Scrolling a timeline to find and remove a duplicate entry is fiddly on a phone screen. Saying what you want gone is faster. Neither 9to5Google nor Droid Life could confirm whether a deletion can be undone, so be specific with your requests until that’s clear.
A smarter Readiness Score
The Readiness Score, which tells you whether your body is up for a hard workout or needs an easy day, now factors in “additional signals from your sleep” to personalize results. Google didn’t say which signals were added or how much weight they carry. If your score shifts a little after the update, that’s the likely reason.
AFib alerts reach Japan
The third change won’t affect U.S. users directly, but it shows where Google is pushing the platform. Irregular Rhythm Notifications, which check heart rhythm data in the background while you’re still or asleep for signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib), are now available in Japan on Pixel Watch and Fitbit devices. Users there can turn the feature on from the Health tab.
How 5.10 fits Google’s update pace
Google Health has shipped on a steady clip since the refreshed app launched in May. The last few releases show where it’s heading: more control over the AI coach, and more data feeding its scores.
| Version | Rolled out | Notable change |
|---|---|---|
| 5.06 | Mid-August 2026 | Option to hide proactive Coach insights from the Today tab; map fixes |
| 5.09 | Around Sept. 25, 2026 | Cardio Load for third-party workouts |
| 5.10 | Oct. 9, 2026 (Android rolling out) | Delete logs by chatting with the Coach; Readiness uses more sleep signals; AFib alerts in Japan |
Version 5.06 was a quiet admission that not everyone wanted the coach chiming in all day; it added a “No Coach insights” mode that trims the Today tab to activity and sleep summaries. Version 5.10 goes the other direction, handing the coach a chore people will actually be glad to give it. That’s a smarter way to win skeptics over than more unsolicited advice.
Worth updating?
Yes. Nothing in 5.10 changes what data the app collects, and delete-by-chat fixes a real annoyance. The timing matters too: Google has confirmed the Fitbit Edge tracker launches October 12, and anyone who buys one will be setting it up in this version of the app.
To check whether you have it, open the Play Store, search for Google Health and look for an Update button. If it isn’t there yet, the staged rollout simply hasn’t reached your account.
