Your Fitbit data can now connect directly to Apple Health
Google has updated its health app to allow direct data syncing with Apple Health, eliminating the need for third-party workarounds. The update also introduces Smart Health Links for US users to share medical records via URL or QR code.
Why it matters
This integration improves interoperability between major health ecosystems, making it easier for users to manage and share personal health data across different platforms.
Google is rolling out an update that will finally allow you to connect your Fitbit workouts, steps, vitals, and other data to Apple Health, as reported earlier by 9to5Mac. With Google Health’s 5.05 update, you can now tap your profile icon, select “Partner apps,” and choose Apple Health to link your data directly.
Previously, you could only import your Apple Health data into Google Health, but not the other way around. That meant using third-party apps — like Power Sync for Fitbit or Fitbit to Apple Health Sync — or some other kind of workaround to connect your Google Health information to Apple Health.
