Fitbit Data Can Finally Sync to Apple Health
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- The latest Google Health app update for iOS enables syncing of health data from Google Health to Apple Health, allowing users to share exercise records, sleep, vitals, steps, and more.
- Google Health, which collects data from wearables like Fitbit trackers and the Pixel Watch, now supports two-way data sync with Apple Health, enhancing interoperability between the platforms.
- Some data types, such as heart rate variability (HRV), do not transfer to Apple Health despite the new sync feature.
- Users can enable syncing by updating the app, going to Connections, selecting Apps and services, and adding Apple Health.
- Previously, Fitbit devices lacked native Apple Health sync, requiring third-party tools or workarounds; this update eliminates that need by providing direct two-way synchronization.
