Google Health now lets you remove AI guidance from the Today tab
Google has updated the Health app, allowing users to remove the AI-powered Health Coach from the prominent Today tab. This feature, part of the latest version 5.06, addresses concerns from users who found the insights to be less accurate and sometimes intrusive. By opting for the 'No Coach insights' toggle in the app settings, users can enjoy a streamlined interface without the Coach's insights cluttering their home screens while still retaining access to the feature if needed. This change stems from user feedback intended to improve their experience with Google Health Premium.
