On September 15, Microsoft updated its Health clients on Windows and Android to reflect that it has a new name: Microsoft Band. Today, the firm finally updated its iOS app with the new change. The release notes list bug fixes as the only other feature.
The update comes as no surprise; even Microsoft was referring to the iOS app as Microsoft Band at the same time as its other mobile clients. For some reason, however, it just took this long to push it out.
Of course, we still have no idea why the company made the change in the first place. It would seem that the back-end service is still to be called Microsoft Health, as the web app maintains its old name. It looks like the company is only updating its mobile applications.
After installing the app update, you'll also find that your Band has a firmware update waiting. It's unknown what's included with the update, although it's likely just bug fixes, since nothing new shows up in the "What's New" section of the Band 2. If there's anything big, we'll let you know.
Thanks to Tero for the tip!
