Fitbit Will Delete Data If You Don’t Migrate To Google Account By 2026

The Fitbit migration to Google Accounts started in 2023, and will be mandatory in February of 2026 to continue accessing your health data.

Fitbit previously maintained its own account system where you had your own email and password. Following the acquisition, that went away for a unified approach where you just sign-in with your existing Google Account. This was both simpler and improved security, especially with 2-Step Verification (2FA).

Existing users could switch over, with Google limiting new features and devices (starting with the Pixel Watch 2 and Fitbit Charge 6) to the new accounts.

Originally, 2025 was the deadline for when a “Google account will be required to use Fitbit.” These changes were first previewed in September of 2022.

In an email to customers today, Google said February 2, 2026 is the new deadline: “If you do not move to a Google Account by the deadline, you will not be able to continue using the Fitbit service.”

Additionally: “Your historical data will not be retained beyond 2 February 2026 (except as needed to comply with laws), and your account and data will be deleted.” Again, users with newer devices have already switched over.

For everyone else, make sure you’re on the latest Fitbit app (Android or iOS) before opening settings from the top-right corner. There will be a “Move Account” option. Detailed instructions can be found here.

Alternatively, you can download (export) or delete your Fitbit data if you don’t want to migrate to a Google Account. You have until February 2, 2026 to do so.
