I received the following email from Google Fitbit:

“You are receiving this email because there is an important upcoming change to your Fitbit account and action is required.

As we have previously shared, Fitbit is now a part of Google, and Fitbit Account holders will need to transition to Google Accounts to continue using Fitbit. If you want to keep using Fitbit, you must move to a Google Account by 2 February 2026. If you use a Gmail account to sign in to Fitbit, you must also move to a Google Account. Learn more.

If you do not move to a Google Account by the deadline, you will not be able to continue using the Fitbit service. Your historical data will not be retained beyond 2 February 2026 (except as needed to comply with laws), and your account and data will be deleted.

To move to a Google Account, open the Fitbit app, go to app settings, and look for the option to move Fitbit to your Google Account (you may need to update the app in order to continue). You can also download or delete your data anytime on or before 2 February 2026.

You can learn more here.

I’ve already migrated my data, but many people are hesitant, waiting on seeing how Google handles the merge. So far, I’ve noticed that Google has gone out of their way to mitigate any wrongful assumptions. Google has explicitly stated that they won’t use user health data for selling ads or sell data at all.

Google’s reputation with user data has been consistent with its transparency and control stance, giving users full control over their data.
