Google Health 5.06 rolling out to control the Coach in Today tab

Google Health 5.06, the latest update for Android and iOS devices, introduces new customization options for the Health Coach guidance displayed in the Today tab. This feature allows users to control what insights and daily summaries the Google Health Coach provides. By default, the "Standard" setting displays "proactive, conversational insights and daily summaries" in the Today tab.

However, users can now choose between two modes: "No Coach insights" or "On-demand access always stays on." The "No Coach insights" mode simply shows activity and sleep summaries, while "On-demand access always stays on" maintains the existing functionality, enabling users to ask questions and access active fitness plans at any time. To set these preferences, users must navigate to Google Health settings, then the "Coach" menu.
