Edit or delete a reading

If you saved a wrong value, the wrong time or forgot a tag, you can correct the reading. You can also delete readings you do not want to keep. Both are free.

Find the reading

1. Open the History tab, the second icon at the top of the screen.
2. Scroll to the reading. If it is far back, use a filter; see Find readings in your history.

You can then reach the reading in three ways:

• Swipe it to the left. The buttons Edit and Delete appear on its right.
• Touch and hold it. A small menu offers edit and Delete.
• Tap it to open Measurement details. The icons for editing and deleting are at the top of that screen.

Change a reading

1. Tap Edit. The screen Measurement edit opens.

2. To change the date or time, tap Date or Time at the top and choose the right one.

3. To change the values, use the three wheels SYSTOLIC, DIASTOLIC and PULSE.

4. To change the note, tags, weight or oxygen saturation, tap the round icons below the date, or swipe left: note, tags, weight and oxygen. A dot under an icon shows that the reading has something there.

5. Tap Save at the top of the screen.

This screen looks like the smaller input screen, even if you use the larger one on the Data tab. If you go back without tapping Save, your changes are not saved and the app does not ask.

Delete a reading

1. Swipe the reading to the left, or touch and hold it, and tap Delete.

2. The app asks Are you sure you want to delete this record? Tap Yes.

A deleted reading cannot be restored in the app. If you are not sure, edit the reading instead.

The app deletes one reading at a time. To delete all readings at once, the app has a separate option in the settings; use it only if you really want to start over.

Health Connect and backup

• If you sync with Health Connect, a changed reading is updated there as well. A deleted reading is not removed from Health Connect. Delete it there too, see Sync your readings with Health Connect.
• If you back up to Google Drive, the next backup contains the change. An older backup still contains the reading as it was. See Back up your readings to Google Drive.

What to check if it does not work

• A deleted reading came back after you switched Health Connect sync off and on again. When sync is switched on, the app copies everything that is in Health Connect. Delete the reading in Health Connect as well.
• Your change is gone. You went back without tapping Save. Edit the reading again.
• The home-screen widget still shows the old values. It updates with your next new reading.
