Key Points:

Google is expanding the Public Preview of the redesigned Fitbit app to free users, introducing new features for personal health coaching.
The updated app now includes nutrition and water logging, allowing users to set calorie targets, log meals, and track intake without switching to the old app.
Cycle Health features enable users to log symptoms and periods, with Fitbit Premium subscribers receiving personalized cycle insights.
Mental wellbeing tools have been enhanced to track mindfulness sessions and moods, alongside an updated stress management score called “resilience.”
The app’s redesign includes a four-tab layout (Today, Fitness, Sleep, Health), but advanced features like Coach and custom fitness plans remain exclusive to Fitbit Premium subscribers.
