Tracked changes affecting Fitbit
- 2026-10-30 · confirmedFitbit Web API turn-offGoogle's Google Health API page states that on October 30, 2026 "the Fitbit Web API will be turned off and will no longer function or sync data to or from Fitbit users", and that all current integrations "must migrate their applications and users to the Google Health API and Google OAuth 2.0 as soon as possible". Until then the legacy API keeps operating without support, and Google's migration guide has apps support both login methods while it does. Existing tokens cannot be transferred, so every user re-consents through Google OAuth.
- 2026-09-30 · confirmedFitbit Web API end of supportGoogle's Google Health API page states that on September 30, 2026 "support for the Fitbit Web API ends. The API will continue to operate, but Google will no longer fix bugs or provide API support." The turn-off follows on October 30, 2026. Third-party guides had named September 30 before Google published the timeline; it is the end-of-support date, not the switch-off.
- 2026-05 · reportedFitbit accounts: Google Account consolidation gate (reported)Users on legacy Fitbit-only logins are reported to need consolidation into a Google Account by roughly mid-May 2026. Google's migration guide confirms the gate itself but gives no date: a user must sign in to the Google Health mobile app to link Google Health to their Google Account before an app can sync their data, and calls made before that fail with ACCOUNT_NOT_LINKED. A gate on your migration, not a detail inside it.
