We all knew this was coming eventually. In the five years since Google completed its acquisition of Fitbit, there have been enough changes — such as every Fitbit app user needing mandatory Google accounts, Fitbit community features getting axed, and smartwatches reduced in priority in favor of Google’s own Pixel Watch — to signpost that Fitbit users would eventually become Google users.
Now, the Fitbit app is about to become Google Health, in a mandatory update that’s part of a sweeping AI-powered app redesign, coinciding with the launch of the new Google Fitbit Air (yes, that’s the full name, and you can expect any future Fitbits to have the ‘Google’ prefix in there too).
