As we all know that Google account is not required in Fitbit but it will not be so in the coming time. Recently Google has announced that from the summer of 2023, you will be able to log in to Fitbit with your Google account. Fitbit is owned by Google and the move was announced last fall.
Some users will think that this feature will not affect them. Well, for now, it’s true. But in the long term with Fitbit, you won’t be able to escape this step, as a Google account will be mandatory from 2025.
Google is working on making this move pleasant for you in this blog post at the moment. If you want to switch accounts sooner, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
Here’s a look at what a Google Account offers.
- The convenience of a single Google login. Once you complete the move, you’ll use your Google Account to log into Fitbit with a single password. Making it easier for you to manage all your connected apps and paired devices — plus all your information is in one place.
- Google’s industry-leading privacy and security. You’ll have added, unified privacy controls – including the ability to manage all your Fitbit data in the Google Privacy Center – to keep your health and wellness data safe and secure. You’ll also be able to see and manage where you are logged in across your Google Account.
- Continued commitment to privacy. Privacy is still at the core of the Fitbit experience. Your Fitbit health and wellness data won’t be used for Google Ads, and it will continue to be kept separate from Google Ads data.
- All the things you love about Fitbit. From the moment you first log into Fitbit with your Google Account, you will have the same Fitbit experience with all your historical health and wellness data still available. So you can keep using Fitbit to help you move more, eat well, sleep better, manage stress and more. Just look for a prompt when you open your Fitbit app or head to Settings on the Fitbit app to start the process.
