Fitbit Data Can Finally Sync to Apple Health

Fitbit data can now seamlessly sync with Apple Health following the latest update to the Google Health app for iOS. Google Health, initially known as the Fitbit app, has been collecting fitness, sleep, and wellness data from wearable devices like Fitbit trackers and the Pixel Watch. Users can now share their exercise records, sleep patterns, vital statistics, steps, and more between Google Health and Apple Health.

According to Reddit users, certain data types like HRV are not transferable during this sync process. To enable this two-way sync, users need to update the Google Health app to version 5.05 from the App Store, then navigate to Connections, choose Apps and services, and add Apple Health.

Interestingly, devices such as Fitbit have not had native sync capabilities with Apple Health previously, requiring users to resort to third-party syncing utilities or workarounds. The update also introduces Smart Health Links, enabling users to securely share medical records with providers or family members.
