By default, Health Coach takes up a lot of space in Google Health’s Today tab — but as of the latest update, you’ve now got the option to kick Coach out of Google Health’s home screen.\n\nAs spotted by [ 9to5Google](https://9to5google.com/2026/08/14/google-health-5-06-release-notes/), version 5.06 of Google Health is rolling out now on Android and iOS. The main new bit in this version, according to a\n\n[Google’s blog post about the update](https://support.google.com/googlehealth/blog/459262518/google-health-app-5-06-update-aug-2026), is a\n\n*No Coach insights*option, which removes Health Coach’s verbose guidance and insights from the app’s Today tab.\n\nWe saw evidence that this change was coming [earlier this summer](https://www.androidauthority.com/google-health-ai-coach-mute-toggle-apk-teardown-3693291/) when we discovered strings in Google Health that referenced the new No Coach insights toggle.\n\nThe option to turn off these insights will be a considerable improvement for a lot of users. *Android Authority’*s Brady Snyder wrote up his experience with Google Health Premium and Health Coach last month, and he found that Coach’s questionably accurate insights actually [made the Google Health app worse](https://www.androidauthority.com/google-health-premium-not-worth-it-3685642/).\n\nIf you’re in the same boat, you can now switch off Health Coach on the Google Health app’s Today tab by tapping your profile picture, then *Google Health settings*, then *Coach.* There, you can select *No Coach insights,* which will remove Health Coach text from the app’s home screen. You’ll still be able to access Coach, it just won’t insert itself into the Today tab.\n\nVersion 5.06 of Google Health is rolling out right now. You can grab it on the Play Store (or the App Store, on iOS).\n\nThank you for being part of our community.
