Change how your coach talks to you
Updated
Make Coachh gentler or more direct, funnier or plainer, shorter or more detailed, and change what it calls you.
Your coach can be gentle or direct, joke around or keep it plain, explain the why or just give the next step. Replies can be short, standard or detailed.
In the chat
Just say it: “be more direct”, “be gentler with me”, “stop joking”, “less emoji”, “explain why”, “keep it short” or “call me Cal”. Coachh changes the setting and keeps to it from then on.
On iPhone
- Open Menu › Settings and tap Your coach.
- Pick the tone, humor, how much it explains, emoji and what to call you. Each choice shows an example line.
- Reply length sets short, standard or detailed replies.
On Android
Android: coming soon. No public release date is confirmed. These are the steps for the Android app once it is available.
- Open Menu › Settings and tap Your coach.
- The choices are the same as on iPhone.
Good to know
- Safety comes first whatever the style: a direct coach is never a harsh one, and the rules in Your health and getting help still apply.
- Your choice follows your account to your other phone.
- Don’t see Your coach? On that version of the app, Coach personality and Reply length are in Settings instead.
