Google Health Lets You Remove AI Guidance
The latest update to Google Health allows users to hide AI Coach insights from the Today tab, a feature previously only available to premium subscribers, with the new option available in version 5.06 for Android and iOS
Google Health has updated its app to allow users to remove AI guidance from the Today tab. The new feature is available in version 5.06 of Google Health for Android and iOS. This update gives users more control over their experience, as they can now choose to hide the AI Coach insights from the Today view.
To access this feature, users can tap on their profile picture, then Google Health settings, and finally Coach. From there, they can select the option to hide the AI Coach insights. It's worth noting that the AI Coach is still available on the Fitness tab, even after hiding it from the Today view.
The AI Coach is a feature that provides users with guidance and insights based on their data. However, some users may find it tiresome to scroll through the coach's suggestions and insights to get to the key stats they're interested in. This update addresses that issue, giving users the option to remove the AI Coach from the Today tab.
The update also includes bug fixes for map views, such as heart rate and pace data. This should improve the overall user experience, as data such as heart rate and pace should now always be accurately displayed.
## What it means The ability to remove AI guidance from the Today tab is a significant update for Google Health users. It gives them more control over their experience and allows them to customize the app to their needs. This update is particularly important for users who find the AI Coach insights annoying or unnecessary.
## Why it matters The update is a response to user complaints about the Google Health app. Since Google Health replaced the Fitbit app, the transition has not been smooth, and users have been complaining about various issues. By addressing these complaints, Google is showing that it is committed to improving the user experience and making the app more user-friendly.
The update is also significant because it shows that Google is willing to listen to user feedback and make changes accordingly. This is important for building trust with users and ensuring that the app remains popular.
