- Google has announced that Fitbit accounts will be discontinued entirely by 2025.
- Starting this summer, Fitbit account users will start seeing prompts to migrate to a Google account.

Google completed its Fitbit acquisition in 2021, and it was fairly apparent that some simplification and integration moves were on the cards. In 2022, Fitbit posted a support page informing users that Fitbit accounts are going away in 2025. Google has now reiterated the eventual move, addressing some concerns that Fitbit users may have.
In a new announcement post, Google has given us a clearer timeline on when we can expect Fitbit accounts to go away. Starting this summer, new entrants into the Fitbit ecosystem will be prompted to register with a Google account, with no option to sign up with a Fitbit account.
