Dear Community,
We have released Withings 5.14 on iOS and Android. The new update brings several new very important features, some of them following your feedback on Health Mate 5.13.
✨ New name
The Health Mate app becomes the Withings app to reflect its central place in the Withings ecosystem. For people using the version 5.14 or higher, the app will now be called “Withings”. For those using an earlier version, the app will still appear as “Health Mate”. You can find the app on App Store and Play Store by searching for “Withings Health Mate”.
📉 Weight graphs: Numerical trend
Your weight screen displays your weight increase or decrease for the selected period (week, month, quarter, year) in numbers (e.g. -1kg/1lb, +1kg/1lb).
👀 Weight graphs: Explore your data
By clicking on “Explore your data” on your weight screen, you get the details of your weight measurements. Feel free to drag and zoom in or out to explore your graph even further!
📱 [iOS] Unlock your iPhone's potential
You can now create a Withings widget that is visible on your lock screen!
🚴 [Android] Automatic activity detection
ScanWatch users, you can now decide to deactivate the automatic detection of your chosen activity! For that, open Health Mate and go to “Devices” > ScanWatch > “More settings”. In the “Workout” section, you will find a new feature called “Automatic activity detection”. Tap on it then on “Automatic detection” in order to disable or enable the feature. You can also decide to activate/deactivate it for some specific workouts.
📖 Health+
A lot of new features have been implemented for our Health+ users. Here is a list of the improvements:
- 🏋️ Workout Mission: If you are wearing a Withings watch and launch a training video, its duration as well as your heart rate will appear on the screen. Pause the workout or end it via your watch in order to pause or end the video!
- 🗣️ Audible articles: You can now listen to the articles instead of reading them.
- 📊 Program recaps: Get a weekly recap that shows your progress. Once you have achieved your 6-weeks-program, get another quick recap of your 6 weeks.
- ⚖️ Missions of the day: Add the missions of the day on your Withings scale (available only in Wi-Fi). For that, open your app, select your scale (Body Comp or Body Scan), look for “Screens customization”, and add the new feature.
- 🔖 Bookmarks: Go to your program and swipe on a mission to bookmark or unbookmark it! A search bar is also available on the Bookmarks screen.
Thank you all for being part of the Withings adventure 💪.
Have a lovely day,
Armelle, Withings Customer Service
