To clarify, Google does not plan to shutter the standalone Fitbit app soon and is even working on a massive design overhaul for the Android app. This should include redesigned Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health tabs.
How to move Fitbit data to Google account?
While moving your stuff from one app to another may seem daunting, the process is, in fact, really simple. All you must do is ensure that the Fitbit app on your Android device or iPhone is up to date. Then open the app, tap your profile photo for the device and account menu, where you will see the option to Move Fitbit to your Google account.
Here, tap the Move Account button, post which you’ll be guided through a few different screens where you choose the Google account and agree to any terms. You must then review the data, consent to moving it to Google, and tap Agree & move. If this is still a lot to take in, you can just follow the steps in this video.
