Fitbit Data Vanishes Soon: Act Now!

Fitbit users must migrate their historical health and fitness data to a Google account by May 19, 2026, to prevent permanent deletion. This deadline applies to Fitbit devices activated before 2023. Failing to migrate means losing access to vital information such as heart rate, workout logs, and sleep patterns. The migration process can be initiated through the Fitbit app's settings. Google acquired Fitbit in 2021, and this consolidation marks a significant step in integrating the fitness tracker brand. Since 2023, new Fitbit devices and accounts have required a Google account, but existing users were previously given more time. Google has assured users that Fitbit data will be kept separate from its advertising systems and will not be used for ad targeting. Despite Google's own wearable offerings like the Pixel Watch, the Fitbit brand is confirmed to continue. Google remains committed to Fitbit users and technology, with newer products like the Pixel Watch 3 incorporating features previously exclusive to Fitbit premium subscribers.
