Google opens the Fitbit app and will display Health Connect services statistics. Announced at the Mobile World Congress 2024, it is presented as a “more complete picture of your health”.
In the “Today” tab, Fitbit will display health statistics from devices and services outside of Fitbit. These cards – such as Steps, Active Zone Minutes, and Exercise Days – will be labeled with the Health Connect logo in the shape of a heart and will appear alongside other sources like a Pixel Watch or a Fitbit tracker.
From the “You” tab, a new section called “Records” allows you to view all the “Health Connect Data” in a list: “These are the types of data that you allow Fitbit to read from Health Connect. Health Connect data may not match the metrics you see on your Fitbit devices”.
Third-party services will be labeled and will allow you to access them to view them through the familiar Fitbit interface. This is being implemented starting today.
Health Connect is part of Android 14 or a Play Store installation on older devices. First, you need to set up the integration in those third-party applications for Android.
Previously, Google Fit fulfilled this function of displaying data from various sources. That application has not been significantly updated for quite some time, so it was expected that this step would be taken at some point.
