Fitbit data can now sync directly to Apple Health

Google has announced a new feature in its Google Health 5.05 update that lets users link Fitbit data directly to Apple Health. The update, first reported by 9to5Mac, allows users to tap their profile icon, select “Partner apps,” and choose Apple Health to sync workouts, steps, vitals and other metrics. This marks a reversal of the previous limitation, where only Apple Health data could be imported into Google Health.

Prior to this release, Fitbit users who wanted to move data from Google Health to Apple Health had to rely on third‑party solutions such as Power Sync or Fitbit‑to‑Apple Health Sync. The new integration eliminates the need for workarounds, streamlining the data flow between the two ecosystems. Google Health’s replacement of the older Fitbit app further consolidates health tracking within a single platform.

With the ability to push Fitbit data into Apple Health, users can maintain a unified health record across both ecosystems, simplifying tracking and analysis. The update is available to all users of Google Health, providing a more seamless experience for those who use both Google and Apple devices for fitness and health monitoring.
