If you track your health with a Fitbit, you may have noticed your app looks different lately. Google has renamed and redesigned the Fitbit app, and there's one step some users still need to take to keep everything working.

We know that admin like this is the last thing you want to deal with when you're already managing your health day to day. So we've kept this short. Here's exactly what's changed, why, and what (if anything) you need to do.

The short version

There are really two separate things happening here, and it's easy to mix them up:

1. The app changed automatically. The Fitbit app is now the Google Health app. It updated itself — you didn't need to download anything, and your data came across on its own.
2. Your account may still need to move. This is the part that needs you. If you sign in with an old Fitbit account, you'll need to move it to a Google Account to keep using the app.

If you only remember one thing: the app updating itself does not mean your account has moved. Those are different steps.

What's actually changed

The Fitbit app became the Google Health app on May 19, 2026, with a new name, icon, and layout. Your favorite features are still there, with a few upgrades:

• A simpler layout with four tabs: Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health
• Dashboards you can customize so your most important numbers are front and center
• More data in one place — activity, sleep, vitals, and (in the US) your medical records like lab results and medications
