Start a Run from New Google Health App

Hello,

How do I start a run from the new google health app, not from the watch? I like tracking my distance and pace from the app and receiving the voice cues which doesn’t work from the watch.

Thanks,

Lindsey

Hi @LindseyCS   You should be able to do this right from the Today screen with app v 4.69.  Check out all the images in this 9to5google article.  Google redesigned the Focus section and you should see the Log and Start options just below the tiles.

Take a look at the Fitbit help site for further assistance and information.
