Fitbit users forced to merge with Google accounts or lose years of health data, deadline extended twice due to backlash
Google is requiring Fitbit users to migrate to Google Accounts or lose all historical health data. The deadline was pushed from 2025 to Feb 2026 then to May 2026 due to user outrage. Users are angry about being forced to link personal health data to Google for ad targeting. Many are looking for alternatives that do not require Google account merge.
