Fitbit Data Now Syncs Directly with Apple Health

Google is rolling out a significant update that allows Fitbit users to link their activity and health metrics directly to Apple Health. As reported by 9to5Mac, the Google Health app version 5.05 introduces a new integration that lets you connect your Fitbit data—including workouts, steps, and vitals—to Apple's health platform. Previously, the connection was one-way: you could import Apple Health data into Google Health, but not export your Fitbit information to Apple Health. This limitation forced users to rely on third-party apps like Power Sync for Fitbit or Fitbit to Apple Health Sync, or to use other workarounds. With this update, you can now tap your profile icon, select 'Partner apps,' and choose Apple Health to establish a direct link. This move simplifies the process and enhances interoperability between two major health ecosystems, making it easier for users to consolidate their health data in one place.
