Can’t see daily vitals on your Fitbit? It’s not just you, but a fix might not come soon

Daily health readings are disappearing after the latest Google Health update.

Can’t see daily vitals on your Fitbit? It’s not just you, but a fix might not come soon

Fitbit users are encountering a frustrating issue after updating to Google Health 5.12, as daily vitals such as heart rate variability, resting heart rate, blood oxygen, breathing rate, and skin temperature seem to vanish from their devices. The problem has been reported by a number of users, primarily on iOS, though Android users may also be affected. While signing out and back into their Fitbits temporarily restores the missing data, a permanent solution appears to be on the horizon.

The issue has gained traction on Reddit and Google's support forums, where users are voicing their frustrations. Some affected devices continue to record the data normally, but Google's Health app fails to display the information. Although the latest update to the Health app brings a host of new features, it seems to have brought along an unwelcome side effect in the form of missing vital signs.

Google has yet to provide a definitive fix for the problem, and users are left wondering when they can expect their daily vitals to return. In the meantime, affected users are left to rely on other methods to monitor their health metrics, hoping that a permanent solution will be forthcoming.
