Google bundles Health Premium into AI Pro as Gemini and Pixel pressures mount

Google is turning Google Health Premium into a free perk for AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, and users who share Google One benefits with family can carry that access over. The bundle lands alongside the new YouTube Premium Lite perk, making AI Pro look like a stronger value proposition. androidauthority.com

At the same time, Google Health’s Fitbit redesign is still drawing backlash, even as Google publishes a roadmap of bug fixes and improvements for the app. The update has frustrated many Fitbit users over changes to the food tracker, workout tracking, and how some data appears inside the new app. 9to5google.com

Google is also pushing Gemini Intelligence deeper into Android, including agentic browsing in Chrome on Android and broader phone automation. But a survey says most Android users are not sold on the idea yet, which suggests Google still has adoption work to do. androidauthority.com

On hardware, Pixel’s U.S. footprint remains modest: Google Pixel shipments were about 800,000 units in Q1 2026, down 7% year over year, while holding a 3% market share. That leaves Google’s phone business in a competitive second tier even as it keeps refining the foldable lineup. 9to5google.com tomsguide.com
