Track readings for several family members

A profile keeps one person's readings apart from the others. Each profile has its own readings, tags and reminders, and the charts, reports and exports always show the profile that is selected.

One profile is free. To add a second profile and more, you need Premium.

Add a profile

1. Tap Other, the last icon in the row at the top of the screen.

2. Scroll down to the section Miscellaneous and tap Users.

3. Tap Create at the top of the screen. Without Premium, the Premium offer opens instead.

4. Under Type in username here, type the person's name. Each profile needs a different name.

5. Tap Date of birth and choose the date.

6. If the person has diabetes, tick Diabetes.

7. Tap Save at the top of the screen.

The new profile is selected straight away. Readings you record now belong to it.

Switch to another profile

When there is more than one profile, a round icon with the initials of the selected person appears at the right end of the row at the top of the screen.

1. Tap the round icon.

2. Tap the name of the person.

You can also switch in Users: tap the name, or the circle next to it.

Change or delete a profile

1. Open Users. On the right of the profile's row, tap the icon More options. Icons appear at the top of the screen.

2. To change the name, date of birth or diabetes, tap Edit, make the change and tap Save.

3. To delete the profile, tap Delete. The app asks This action will remove user and all his data. Are you sure you wish to continue? Tap OK.

Deleting a profile deletes all its readings and reminders. It cannot be undone. The last profile cannot be deleted.

What belongs to each profile

• Readings, tags and reminders belong to one profile. Create a reminder while the right profile is selected; see Set reminders.
• The PDF report, the CSV file, the summary export and the home screen widget show the selected profile.
• Health Connect syncs only one profile, normally the first one.
• A Google Drive backup contains all profiles.

What to check if it does not work

• Create opens the Premium offer. More than one profile needs Premium.
• Save is missing on the User setup screen. Another profile already has this name. Type a different name.
• Readings seem to be missing. Another profile is probably selected. Look at the initials in the round icon and switch back.
• The round icon does not appear after adding a profile. Go to another tab and back, or close and open the app.
• Reminders of another family member stop coming. See Reminders do not appear.
• The Health Connect row says Only the main user can sync with Health Connect. Only one profile syncs with Health Connect; switch to that profile.
